A+++PRIVACY: You have your own entrance. The house, although technically is filed under “your own room” feels more like “your own apartment”. So much so, that I left my things in a common area, only later to discover, that it wasn’t. Sorry. SAFETY: Matthew is a firefighter, which makes a solo woman traveling alone feel much safer. Also, a watch dog patrols the outside perimeter, which after being broken into in Los Angeles, the police will tell you a dog is more effective than an alarm system. PERSONAL LOCK on your bedroom door+on the main entrance DIGITAL KEYPAD that only you use. ANIMAL LOVER: M truly makes your pup feel welcomed. (Love you too, Boogie and ty for your diligent patrolling). No stupid rules. CLEAN: To those of you (like me) who think its just courteous to provide clean sheets, new white clean towels, a spotless kitchen, (new) pans, silver, etc... Look no further. EXTRAS: 10 foot + ivy vines line the whole wall behind your head where you sleep. Makes for easy astral planing to an evening under the jungle stars w/ the person of your dreams -if thats your thing ;) Backyard has an outdoor bathtub w/ hot water, if you like that sorta thing afterward, too. LUSH PLANTS throughout. Loved my stay here. Oh and the large TV in your bedroom has HBO and the rest..Just book it.
