Raya is an absolutely amazing host, arguably the best I've had. She is friendly, kind, helpful and very responsive. Her place is so charming! I stayed for 3 months with my dog and cat. My daughters live close and visited often. We celebrated Christmas together in the Olive house and it was perfect. The front porch is perfect for coffee and quiet mornings (although maybe with a blanket and small space-heater in colder months). The neighborhood is incredibly walkable with many restaurants, two grocery stores, five coffee shops, several book stores, and even a butterfly garden less than a half-mile walk. The neighborhood is very dog-friendly and the neighbors were all so kind. An amazing retreat away from home. I will definitely stay there again!
