My husband I live in central California and just wanted a little escape for our anniversary. Melanie's cottage was the perfect space for just the two of us. There are many exciting places to visit and see nearby, but my husband and I kept close, mostly walking places within a one to two mile radius to enjoy the fresh air, find places to eat, shop, and drink. We enjoy a good dive bar, and there is a little place just a few blocks away that we visited twice and enjoyed very much. Melanie's premises were clean, and easy to access, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. It's just a little thing - But she keeps the place stocked with a Brita pitcher, which is so thoughtful, and which I wish I had noticed before we went through a case of water bottles! It's a tiny, but such a considerate detail of an enjoyable stay.
