Apartment was in a very quiet neighborhood backing up to a canyon. There was a place to sit outside on the deck in the evening and look at the stars in the dark sky. It was in the city, yet felt secluded due to the hills/canyon behind the house. The bed was very comfortable, the reclining love seat made a great place to crash at the end of a busy day, and there were lovely dishes for serving dinner each night. We got take out from the Thai restaurant they recommended and it was delicious. We would love to go back and stay there again.
