To get to the house you walk through a large, attractive garden, into your own gated area with a small, lovely, garden. There's a fountain, some lovely plants, and it's a very peaceful place to sit outdoors for morning coffee, or just to day dream. The weather was beautiful while I was there, and I was able to leave the door open almost all the time. The house is fully equipped and attractive. It is for people who enjoy charm, rather than glass and metal. I had everything I needed. Cristiane was very available and helpful. I met her two lovely sons, and just by chance her husband, mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law's beautiful dog - Cookie. Everyone was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Please don't get the idea they intrude; no one even came to the gated entry to our little yard. I was in and out a lot, and just happened to run into them a few times. For me that was great because they were very nice, and fun to talk to. The best part - not really highlighted on AirBnB - is the enormous public park about three blocks from the house. There is a wonderful playground for children, a soccer field, basketball courts, a swimming pool, and an extremely large track for walking or running. I had my dog with me, and he really loved that we were able to take a walk every evening to a park that contained endless sights and smells he thought I had found solely for his enjoyment! I saw the complaint about the wi-fi, but I had no trouble at all. If I had I would have asked Cris to fix it and I'm sure it would have been done immediately. This is a great location to spend time in the Los Angeles area, particularly if you have children or a pet you want to bring with you.
