This place is all about location. It's one side of a split house so it's long and narrow with three different "compartments" which I found rather nice (bathroom and laundry area, bedroom, living room). There are notes everywhere with little instructions and tips and everything was clean. It was warm during my stay and host had tap water in fridge for the swamp cooler and drinking water also chilled and I immensely appreciated both. Most helpful was a folder of local tips and recommendations she had prepared. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe but you can easily walk to many interesting things. Parking was easy with lots of space to back out, which is nice for back alley parking. I walked to El Five for a swanky dinner and loved it, about a 10 min walk. It's a 5-8 min drive to downtown and all that it has to offer. I would stay here again. Thanks E!
