Carmen's home is in a wonderful, safe and quiet neighborhood. The reasons we stayed at her place were that the Japanese Gardens and Arboretum were right across the street and the bus line was a short, easy walk away. We took the bus everywhere to avoid the cost and stress of driving and parking while we saw musical events and did touristy things. It was perfect. Her advice about the bus app as well as using our bus passes we had ordered by mail made everything stress free.
The unit has fresh coffee ready for the french press, little chocolates, granola bars, fizzy water, a great little kitchen with a frig, shampoo, conditioner and a VERY comfortable bed and pillows, which is a high priority for me. We had a restful time when we were there. The neighborhood was lovely and we enjoyed our day and nighttime walks to and from the bus stop. I would stay again.
