I arrived after 10pm and Melinda gave me a quick tour, made sure I had all the linens I needed and said I could fix myself a snack out of the fridge (lots of healthy options!). The house is a beautiful Spanish style with authentic tile and beams in the ceilings- really lovely. I wish I'd had more time to take a walk in the neighborhood because all the houses and yards were gorgeous.

I stayed in the den which has a pull-out sofa bed. I'm lazy so I just slept on the un-pulled-out couch which was perfectly comfortable. The bathroom was recently remodeled and the shower was hot and had good pressure.

Melinda was very attentive- she turned the heat on when she thought it was getting a little chilly and gave me a call to let me know that the cleaning lady would be coming in. She was also very helpful for giving advice on things like driving times and traffic.

The only thing to consider about this location is it's very close to the airport- great for me since I had late and early flights but the planes are pretty loud. The airport closes overnight but there are planes going overhead until 11pm and they start back up at 6:30/7ish. I didn't mind since I had to be up early but it wouldn't be good if you wanted to sleep in.

Overall I would recommend Melinda and her home- the location is great, the house and neighborhood are beautiful and the hostess is helpful and attentive.
