Overall, a great experience. Todd was welcoming and made sure every amenity you could want was ready for you. The kitchen is well-stocked with all sorts of dishware, cookware and even tea, coffee and a few basic food staples to start your day. There are plenty of clean linens and towels. And besides the basics, the house is pure comfort. Incredible art, cable TV, internet, DVD's, great books - you can't get bored here. In addition, the garden deserves special mention. There are bountiful fruit trees to enjoy and so much to explore.
It was very easy to communicate with Todd and he was very pro-active about arranging emergency contacts since he would not be around for the entire length of our visit.
Todd has a few rentals on this large property which he was nice enough to show me when I arrived. I would stay at any of his properties when my next California trip comes up.
