Let me start by saying Jesus place, for location, is beautiful. It’s really relaxing and you feel like you’re away from everything, very peaceful indeed and a great place to chill out.
This place has the potential to be truly great, it is very rustic but I personally love that, it really adds character and is very different to everything else you will find in LA.
However, the cleanliness was not good. It really felt like it had not been cleaned thoroughly in months. There was lots of dust everywhere. The kitchen we had to clean ourselves to use, as the stove was covered in a layer of grease. The cleverly designed units that can be used as a food preparation surface, when we arrived still had the dirty rags the cleaner had been using before, not very hygienic for cooking! The towels provided also smelt quite musty, like they had been left damp a bit to long.
Although advertised as a fully working kitchen, the oven did not work. This was annoying for us as we had been to the supermarket to buy food which we could not cook, under the assumption that the kitchen would be ok to use.
Over all with a thorough spring clean and a bit of tlc this place could be great.
