Helen's place was as advertised. It is a quiet, private space that really gives the feeling of home. The property is well maintained and very clean. Due to the secluded hillside neighborhood cellphone service can be very spotty. We did not have any issue with Helen's guest wifi.
There is plenty to do nearby which can be accessible by either car or on foot. We took a beautiful hike on the trails at Quarry park. Our walk from doorstep to park would have been about 20 minutes, if we didn't stop and chat with the friendly neighbors in the area. We were also escorted by the neighborhood cat Linus! The local restaurants were amazing and we had excellent food wherever we ate. We suggest Mezza Luna for an awesome Italian meal.
Thank you Helen for making our first airbnb experience a great one. We will definitely save this rental to our airbnb wishlist and hope to come back for another stay.
