We stayed over Christmas break in LA and rented Winnie’s home to accommodate eight of us. There was definitely enough space for all of us. The location was in proximity to many area spots, and one major reason for booking included the swimming pool. The pool area is amazing. Gated and sAfe for use for kiddos. Unfortunately it rained pretty heavily and consistently 80% of our time so we never got to use the pool. Because of the increased time indoors we found that the available seating in the most common areas was kinda uncomfortable. Not suitable for lounging on a rainy day especially with a 7, 8 and, 11 year old. The tv also didn’t have the capability of mirroring or using Netflix or Hulu so aside from local satellite there wasn’t a lot of ability to watch/access tv. There were about 12 bath towels provided, but I would encourage access to more as we didn’t use the pool due to the weather, and had to wash in order to have fresh towels for showering. The kitchen space had more than enough cups, forks and plates but lacked on cooking pots and pans. We had access to a stock pot for boiling, a 10 and 12 inch skillet and a smaller pot that could be used to make soup in. Overall, not ideal to cook for a family style sized meal. A set of potholders and a cookie sheet/pan for baking would have been very useful. There was salt and pepper in the house but we had to purchase a good amount of spices to be able to prepare meals. Most of the cabinets and fridge didn’t have any items from previous tenants so there was limited access to goodies you can pinch from former guests. It was quite chilly during our stay due to December weather, (50 degree days mostly) and we were having a hard time keeping all parts of the house heated at different times. The heat didn’t seem to warm all areas at the same time at the same temp so we experienced some pockets of chill, here and there. Overall, this house was adequate, but for us, not the most ideal to host a family that got stuck in doors. While I assume most people come to LA for the weather, (as did we), it was unfortunate to be rained out however we made the best of it. The house itself worked and I would encourage families who may be looking for a “cozy time” to know they would likely have better access in warmer months. We appreciate Winnie and her accommodations. She responded quickly and made the booking process easy.
