James was a really nice. His house was clean and cozy and we felt at home once we arrived. Some of his house rules are a little silly like "don't roll your luggage on the floor to avoid germs" but I had no problem respecting them. There were pros and con's to our stay. Pros: clean environment, great outside area, convenient location. Cons: even though his dogs were nice they did wake us up every morning at 5am, huge ant problem (we googles this and is does seem there is an ant problem in Cali right now but it was gross washing ants off our tooth brushes every morning, and lastly the description of the expectations were false. James clearly states he stays next door with his sweetie when guests are present but he actually stays in the attached garage. It makes it feel like your not actually renting the whole place because you are greeted by the host every time you leave the house. Very interesting but we were gone a lot so it was alright.
