Most of all, the place was fantastic with more than expected (mentioned) amenities and features ready to be enjoyed throughout the stay. Our extended family of 7, including 3 pre-teen kids, had great time staying here over the New Year holiday. The rooms, beds, yard, kitchen, towles, washers, jacuzzi... everything and every part of the house we used were neatly cleaned and as you see in the pictures. Coming from Japan we are used to spending barefoot inside but the floor was clean enough to do so here too. There were plenty of soaps, shampoos, washing detergent for us to use without the need for us to go shopping for them, and the house was equipped with plenty of entertainment systems, books, games, kitchen tools to make ourselves at home while spending time inside. We LOVED the fireplace!
Alexandria was a great host to us, starting from timely communication before travel, on arrival day, and before/after leaving. She was very nice to wait for an hour for us although we arrived late due to car issues, and had taken time to welcome us to the house. Her guidebook was easy to look through and had all the necessary information afterwards, during the stay.
As mentioned, the location is great. We love the neighborhood where its calm and quiet, walking distance to Abbot Kinney and Venice Beach and all the nice places surrounding. We didn't get to use the bikes since our kids were small but it would have been fun to take the bikes (offered to use with the house) to go around the city or even just for a quick ride to get breakfast bread from one of the bakery nearby... like a local.
Would definitely suggest the place to friends visiting the city, and already wanting to return again in the near future (our 5yr old son was actually crying on the departure day that he wanted to live in this house forever!).
