It was lovely to enter this house in late December and find little Christmas trees and tiny lights in all of the rooms. Zach was such a responsive host. We stayed here for a week over Christmas to visit our son and his family who live nearby. It was unusually cold for LA- 44 degrees, but Zach immediately helped warm the house with extra space heaters and let us know about using the gas fireplace - a great feature. We are a family of cooks and found the kitchen to be surprisingly well-appointed with everything a family would need including a full knife set and even a coffee mill. The rest of the house is nicely laid out and tastefully decorated - beds are comfy with good linens, the bedrooms are cozy, bath towels are new and fluffy, and the dining room works well for dinners, work, and games. We would certainly stay here again.
