My room was clean and included everything as promised, including good WiFi. The house inside has a fun busy-Victorian look and feel, yet with a modern well-equipped kitchen. In the garden, water features blend well with live bamboo and other plants, revealing sudden niches, art pieces, benches, stairways, and balconies. In the cool November weather, none of us tenants tried the grill or jacuzzi. Doing a walk-about, it's two blocks to the bus stop, two blocks in another direction to the convenience store or closest restaurant. The hillside neighborhood has mostly well-kept buildings: a few soaring Gothic and Queen Anne homes from the Victorian era and many squarish stucco mission-pueblo-Mediterranean homes, both large and small, new and old. This is mostly a residential and rooming-house neighborhood with a scattering of commerce. I hope I get to come back for another stay.
