This space was just right for me and a good value too. I enjoyed the funky style the place was decorated in, the bed was comfortable, and I liked having a little kitchenette— a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and all the basics like dishes mugs and silverware. Forrest is a very nice host— friendly but also giving me my space. I enjoyed pulling up a chair by the French doors and opening them up onto the patio/garage area to let the breeze in and listen to the wind chimes. (Note: he does not park his car in the garage when guests are there, and it opens out onto the patio— quite pleasant)
I also enjoyed stopping at Mona’s cafe, a Mediterranean place with a nice covered patio. It is just a few blocks away. I found the neighborhood fairly quiet and walkable. About 6 blocks walk from the trolley stop.
