Julia and her parents are the best hosts one could ask for!! My husband and I stayed there for about 40 days and we enjoyed every single day of our stay. They are very welcoming, friendly and warm-hearted. Julia is very responsive and her mom always shares her home-cooked dished with us. And we loved them (especially the stir-fried mushroom with Jalapeño and mock fishcake)! It's a little walk (about 15-20 minutes) but about 5 minute drive to restaurants, 24 hour fitness, Safeway and trader joe's. They had given us a "home away from home" feeling and we will definitely visit them again in the near future.
