Maya and Chris were wonderful hosts. They were responsive and hospitable. They had the Keurig set with a timer so the water was ready to in the morning and a box of K-cup coffee ready for use. Mornings looking out the kitchen window into their beautiful backyard were worth waking up for.

The place was very clean and was stocked with dishes, pots and pans. The full sized refrigerator made it easy to stock up on groceries-- Foodland and Safeway within a few miles. They also shared their washer and dryer which I made good use of before packing up.

Their location is perfect as you have easy access to two highways and you're a few minutes to downtown, but just out of it enough that you can manuever around traffic. *Warning: Google Maps has it mostly right, but hasn't mastered yet which lanes to be in for all freeway/highway changes and some of the loopy-windy roads.*

Since rain is fickle, the steps leading down to the apartment can be a little slick. They also are a little steep. Having said that, I think it's fine, but maybe not with young children you have to carry. I made plenty of trips up and down during my 10 days with grocery bags, luggage and all and didn't have a problem, but I was also traveling solo.

If you're in town for business or pleasure, you really can't beat this location!
