Carla's place looks good on the website but it's even better in person! Everything is well thought out, very orderly with all the essentials, and everything in very good working order. It is a studio apartment but feels more like a luxury hotel room. A great, comfortable space that is exactly as described. That being said it actually was better than I expected because the pictures don't show the lovely yard area out front or describe how quiet and relaxing and secure the casita is. And the mattress is extremely comfortable! Which is very important when traveling. Carla's place is in a great location with shops, restaurants and grocery stores close by (Draeger's Market is the BEST!) and a beautiful park in easy walking distance. There is a kitchen but no actual stove so cooking is either microwave or hot plate. Initially I had reservations about that as I like to cook. However, since I asked about cooking is advance I just planned things a little differently and it all worked out perfectly. Probably more relaxing since I kept it simpler and again Draeger's has so many wonderful, tasty food items to go! Being as Carla's place is just two blocks from where my new grandson lives with his parents, I hope to make many happy returns to this lovely spot! You can't go wrong with Carla's place. She is a fabulous host.
