There are bigger places. There are more expensive places. There are fancier places. There are ritzier neighborhoods. But few places in all of my stays have the charm and character of the stay at Julie's! The space is the perfect size for two and the setting creates a serene sense of intimacy. From the small, private courtyard to the perfectly sized and appointed space, it is hard to imagine packing more charm into such a small footprint!
The stay is located in a quiet, working-class neighborhood but the rich character of location made it so easy to get sidetracked on morning strolls admiring the gorgeous, mature fig and citrus trees strewn throughout the neighborhood. Every house in the neighborhood showcased different flora and fauna in their front yards. Each street and each house made it a joy to simply wander after a meal.
There are plenty of places within walking distance to get food. From pastries and donuts in the morning to tacos for lunch to Vietnamese Pho for dinner; there is a rich selection of options within a 5 minute walk. While there is no laundry on premise, it is easily within walking distance of a laundromat and grocery store if you are planning an extended stay.
I've stayed in million dollar condos and multi-million dollar houses; without question, this has been one of my favorite stays of all time and I highly recommend it for those that value charm, character, and serenity over pomp and circumstance.
