Extremely lovely host! Kirsten was so communicative and checked in on me in case I needed anything. I felt very safe where I was and didn't feel at all odd about being on someone's personal property.
The 805 is visible through the lookout on the private patio attached to the unit and I personally found the white noise of passing traffic to be very relaxing. And when the slider was closed, the noise dampening was excellent!
The neighborhood is so quiet and comfortable. Just 5-10 minutes walking took me to several excellent coffeeshop/eateries (highly recommend Hawthorne and Blackmarket Bakery) and dinner spots. I decided to bus over to Hillcrest one day since the MTS lines run conveniently and often and it's about a quarter of the cost of a ride service. Super easy! And I felt very safe both personally and health-wise.
As for the unit itself, it's just as cozy and serene as the pictures make it seem. It's also so well appointed that I felt like I was in an actual b&b; there's so many little "here in case you might need it" items that it shows how valued you are as a guest. I loved the little guidebook with added advice from previous guests. Everything was just lovely and perfect. The only thing I felt I needed to supply was myself and my meals.
