We had a wonderful stay at John’s beautiful home in Willow Glen, he was the best host. The location is perfect—just a block off the main Avenue, a short walk to plenty of shops, good eats, and everything you might need close by. We were traveling with grandchildren, and John went above and beyond by providing all the baby amenities we could have asked for. It made our visit so much easier and more comfortable. We will definitely stay here again the next time we’re in town! Highly recommend.

We needed a place for our out of town family to stay that offered enough social space for everyone to gather and enough beds for everyone to sleep. They haven't stopped raving about this Willow Glen house. It lacked none of the amenities and it's in a great location.
