We stayed for an entire month and loved it. The house and gardens are unique and beautiful. There is plenty of room and the house and gardens are quiet. It was fun to be able to work in several areas in the house and the garden. We particularly liked the private garden which had many different seating possibilities including a swing chair and a lounge chair. There are fruit trees everywhere so you can pick a lime or lemon for your cocktail right outside the door. Todd was a very responsive and thoughtful host. It was an authentic California experience.
