We enjoyed our stay at Marcella's place. The house was easy to find, and in a safe, residential area. Not as close to downtown as we would have liked, but we knew that going in. Very convenient to the freeway. It was rainy and cold most of the time we were there, so the path to the house was quite muddy. The chickens in the yard were fun, but the rooster did call out many times during the night, waking us up. The damp weather also highlighted the fact that the house doesn't have much ventilation. If we had been there when it was warm and sunny, I'm sure it would have been different. Marcella & her family are lovely, and I loved getting to know the sweet kitty :)
