Overall we enjoyed our stay which was for a family wedding nearby at Terranea. The constructive feedback I’d provide is about cleanliness.
The sheets and towels have stains from regular use and should be replaced.
The decorative coach pillows are not clean which makes the couch seem dirty.
There is not any ventilation in the casita and there is a lamp that does not turn off (the wiring is stuffed deep behind a couch and other furniture) so you have to sleep with the light on.
The oven is vintage with four small compartments so universal size trays will not fit.
There is no closet or dresser space, instead there are 2 over the door hooks on the outside of the closets.
This house is definitely used as a home because storage is impossible for longer stays (we stayed for about a week).
The one experience I was really put off by was when I messaged the host about the closet space and the stained sheets/towels, the host stopped by unannounced to (1) park their car in the back - this parking is not offered to guests, and came into the house to unlock one of the closets for us. But the closet was full of clothes so there wasn’t much room for hanging any wedding clothing anyway. The host knocked on the door and asked to come in but it felt very forceful and not much notice was given.
Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and the outside garden area is beautiful. Oh.. and lots of flies in the summer with no net guard on the patio door.
