Dale was very welcoming and personable, available to chat and help but also non intrusive.
The house was clean, well presented and tranquil: the mellow wind chimes are pleasant and soothing with the breeze making this a real oasis. Low noise and a good neighbour mean it's easy to relax.
The house has all the necessary cooking and bathing essentials and the wet room bathroom is especially good.
The balcony is good for relaxing/sunbathing catching it's fair share of afternoon sunlight.
A potentially obvious warning: although a great location for long beach and the local area it is difficult with the L.A. Traffic to access more of the city or in general N.W. This can circumvented by early mornings or late nights to avoid traffic for really full days out.
