We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage in the back of the main house. It was easy to access using keypads at the gate and door. We were on a multi-state trip and stayed at high end hotels in other cities. This place had the most comfortable bed! We also wanted a washing machine in case we ran out of clothes. The host reached out and was accessible but we never needed anything from her as she was very informative upfront and left a binder with information. The AC works great and it was much needed as temps hit the 90’s during our stay. A lovely touch were snacks and coffee pods. The family lives here but were so quiet we never heard them. Also, freeway is close but noise was not a factor. We parked in front of the house day/night without any issues and no ticket, though technically we could have been but she explains it in the binder. Easy access to freeway and many restaurants/shops on Ventura as mentioned by others. Overall a very convenient and relaxing place to stay!
