The setting is perfect if youre looking for a centralized location for hiking various trails/places; in addition to dining/shopping. very quiet peaceful neighborhood with the fed reserve land right out the back yard of the place. every morning while relaxing, drinking coffee and getting ready for the day, we’d be able to watch wildlife (havelinas, coyote, quail). also, very comfortable place to stay. only thing i would recommend for anyone staying here, it is very close to the cathedral rock. if you plan on going back to the place later in the afternoon, the traffic backs up due to people trying to get into the parking area of cathedral may cause you to be stuck in traffic for a few minutes. i would recommend you take the route that winds through the neighborhood or coming back after 5:00pm (cathedral closes at 5:00).
