The house is really lovely - John and Joe have made a great job of renovating the bungalow into a great place to stay. It was really clean and very well equipped with everything our family of five needed for our short stay. The Mac was especially appreciated by the three teenagers! It is in a really good location - a short walk gets you to the local services (shops, restaurants etc) We did not get to meet Joe but John very kindly met us to show us how to get in after we got stuck in LA rush hour traffic and arrived later than we intended - much appreciated. All communications right from the start have been excellent and made the whole process really easy. We wish you great success as hosts and will certainly recommend De Longpre as a great place to stay.
