The house is as beautiful as the pictures. All of the amenities you'd expect with a few added touches. The neighborhood was family (and dog!) oriented, but University Blvd. was only a few blocks away. Vons grocery store was a block away. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching all the dogs taking a walk, but didn't hear any barking. Everyone was very friendly. Having a parking space was very convenient. Nikki had a wealth of information on places to visit. If I had any questions, she was very quick to respond. I highly, highly recommend this place.
