The guest house was excellent—neat and clean, and furnished with everything we needed. And our hosts, Michael and Heather, could not have been more friendly or welcoming. There were even fresh flowers when we arrived! And whenever we had a question about places to see and how to get there, Michael, a longtime California native, was a font of information. One of the things my husband and I most enjoyed was the beautiful location amidst historic neighborhoods. After driving on the expressways for our daily explorations, it was calming to come home to a quiet neighborhood. We took frequent evening walks, often photographing the amazing gardens in these neighborhoods.
