Bertha left detailed instruction about the house. When we arrived, we easily found the key. The apartment was absolutely charming and cozy. Bertha had thoughtful provided a large stack of clean towels. The washer and dryer were very helpful, especially given the warm temperatures. There was easy parking in the driveway. The jewel of this apartment was the lovingly landscaped backyard: the porch off the kitchen was a truly memorable place to hang out with family. There are two staircases, so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other. It was nice to shop at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods (a short walk away) and cook at home--much more fun and memorable than eating in restaurants.
