What a truly wonderful experience for our family! The listing was true to its description and the host welcomed us by providing a wonderful bottle of wine and a note. The house has a charming cottage feel and has everything you need (i.e. kitchen utensils and supplies, wonderful television features - AppleTv, French press for coffee, a lot of closet and drawer space, etc.). The pool is absolutely amazing, especially for older children, because it has a large deep area. It's well maintained and perfect temperature at all times. Our family cooked out on the grill a lot and ate by the pool. The location is wonderful, too, because it's within a minute of the 101 where you can get anywhere quickly. The neighborhood is delightful too with really nice neighbors. Actually it's within walking distance of the Fashion Mall and close proximity to a lot of restaurants and really good grocery stores. Overall, this is an excellent place to stay!
