Cheryl is a very kind, thoughtful, and responsive host who is happy to answer any questions and does her best to accomodate reasonable requests. Our group appreciated small thoughtful touches like freshly made cookies when we checked in, and Cheryl had left music playing for us on the sound system that was relevant to the show we were going to see at Shoreline later that night. There is a box full of lots of spare toiletries like lotion, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, and even a sewing kit if you need it.
The cats are adorable twins who are low maintenance and kind of just do their own thing, so you won't have to worry about them getting in your way if that's a concern. This is not a place to stay if you have cat allergies though, please understand that up front.
The space: The bedrooms and living room are comfortable and spacious to hang out, with lots of tables and seating. The hot tub is very comfortable, and the backyard is a great shaded place to lounge.
If you're driving, there is space in the garage and on the driveway, and street parking is very very plentiful in the neighborhood even in the evenings.
Overall, a comfortable, homey place to stay, run by a wonderful host.
