Exceptional host. Very friendly, communicative, and informative. Place was very clean, nicely decorated, with a well-equipped kitchen. Beds were super comfortable. Close to lots of stuff: took us ~30 minutes to walk to the zoo and a little longer to the mall. Also lots of restaurants and Trader Joe's are within walking distance. We were concerned about the parking (particularly the break-ins), but it was a 30 second walk around the corner and we followed Dale's advice about removing all valuables and there were no problems. Definitely would not hesitate to return in the future.
