    "Just at an air B and B. Really nice area. Close to everything. Schools, restaurants, nail salon, and near the rose bowl. Over all very good neighborhood. I’d come and stay again in the futures. I don’t have much more to say because I’m just visiting. "

Dogs and cats should never be left unmonitored in their yards, as they may be eaten or injured by coyotes at any time of the day."
