My stay at James’s place went very well, as I expected; the location was excellent for walkability around Hillcrest, there is a kitchen area and a fridge and washer and dryer to use among other amenities, and it was very pleasant to look out over all the greenery in the canyon. As James’s guidebook says it is certainly “not the Hilton” but it’s a great place to stay for the value and everything about the experience was easy and well-managed; I would not hesitate to stay again.
