I felt right at home when I was greeting by Rita and Jeff. It is a relaxed and easy atmosphere of "make yourself at home." I especially enjoyed my talks with Jeff about life, travels and philosophy (but it's not a required activity, if you so choose not to engage!).

The room was very clean and beautifully decorated. The shared bathroom always seemed private.

Safe neighborhood with Trade Joe's & Whole Foods a few blocks away and even a neighborhood restaurant within walking distance.

What I loved most was the outdoor gazebo lounge area where I could sip a cup of tea from the well-stocked kitchen, or recline on a cushy chair after a long day of travel cross-country, listening to the birds and feeling the breeze on my skin. It was the perfect one-night lay-over as I moved on to points beyond.
