Joshua was a great host! Great tour of his home, he had fruit and water for us when we arrived---and we never had the need to contact him again until we let him know that we had left. Super accommodating!
DEFINITELY pay to heat the pool...was so worth it---our family spent one entire day in/out of it....mostly in---thanks to heating it.
The pool/yard are super private. The street is busy but you can't see it from the house/pool. Downtown Beverly Hills, grocery and drugstore straight down the hill---about 7 minute drive. We only cooked one night, (were in town for lots of wedding festivities;) but the kitchen had all of the pots/pans/utensils that you could want.
This is a GREAT option for families versus hotel rooms!!
We had a wonderful stay. Thanks Joshua!
