The place is just like what you see in the pictures, or even more impressive in my opinion. Katie stocks the kitchenette with many goodies and amenities; she’s thought of everything. There is even a portable stove and other utensils if you feel like cooking something yourself. The fact that there was so much to our disposal made it feel incredibly homey. I’m still blown away that this place was so affordable- not even the nicer hotels I’ve been to have had this much service. The place is squeaky clean and Katie has also left an adorable personally made guidebook with the house rules, helpful information about the area, and some popular tourist destination suggestions. Something that we were very gracious for was that when we arrived a little earlier than expected, we phoned Katie and asked if we could check in a little early and she was kind enough to let us. We thank you, Katie, for allowing that! Overall our stay was great and beyond expectation, but one small thing I would like to point out is that the neighbor’s dog sometimes barks, however, it wasn’t too frequent. For my friend and I, that wasn’t an issue since both of us are dog moms; but if you’re the type of person that is bothered by that then just bear that in mind. We very much enjoyed our stay in Whittier and highly recommend this spot! Next time we are in the area, we will definitely consider staying here again.
