Mike's place is a gem. The house is a spacious, charming, turn-of-the-century bungalow, full of a fantastic collection of art and antiques. The gardens are phenomenal. We spent an hour every morning and evening just relaxing on the front porch and enjoying the crazy vegetation Mike has managed to grow. It was an easy walk for us to get to Trader Joe's and Ralph's (grocery) along with a number of other restaurants. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit.
