Carol made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We entered the room to find a bottle of chilled water, glasses and two cold bottles of Ziegen Bock. At any hotel you would expect to find a certain level of amenities. What we found went well beyond what you'd expect in any hotel. There were multiple bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner. They were all very nice, high quality items. There were plenty of towels in the bathroom as well as facial wipes and dark towels for anyone who needs to remove facial makeup.
The location was close to the freeway, and plenty of eateries, but there were so many tall trees in the neighborhood any highway noise was barely perceptible. In the mornings we were greeted with a choice of cold brewed, percolated or espresso coffee. There were also muffins and cereal. Carol and her husband share an office in the opposite side of the house from the room they rent, so we were never bothered by their activities. The room has a window A/C unit, so we were able to set the room's temperature to whatever we wanted.
Their was an outdoor table and chairs in the front of the house, so we were able sit outside if we cared to. On the second day of our stay we spotted the group of peacocks that roams the neighborhood. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
