Julie was very welcoming and helpful. The room itself, is modest in size, but totally comfortable with everything I could possibly need. And it was the prettiest room I ever stayed in too, looking like it had been put together by an interior decorator. I loved the colors, art, and high quality bedding. And there were unexpected niceties, like milk, almond milk, butter, and bottles of filtered water in the frig. Though the room was small (but not uncomfortably so) it is part of a large estate that is absolutely gorgeous. As a guest, I was invited to enjoy the grounds. This home is located on top of a hill, in a lovely, leafy, neighborhood. It was very quiet at night, and I felt very safe there. It is only a few blocks from a main street which can either take you directly downtown to a concentration of shops and restaurants or away from downtown to many other shops and restaurants in strip malls. For dinner, I ended up at a natural foods store nearby where I got a wonderful meal from the deli. The next morning I shopped downtown at Macy's, Penney's and Ross's for clothes. So even though it is a quiet residential location, it is very it is a convenient location for dining and shopping.
