If you are a citizen of the world and have travelled globally with seasoned flexibility, then this will be a good place to lay your head at night if you are on the move and busy. Carl is very personable , warm and has a great sense of humour. His thoughtfulness really touched me. One night was extra cool and he brought me a blanket without my asking for it. I expressed I liked to have tea in the morn and/or eve. The next time I was in the kitchen there was a cup and spoon on a serviette waiting for me. It's the little things in life that make a difference. Niceness and politeness go a very long way. You can't beat the price for sunny , Southern California!
