We stayed at Rosana's house for three weeks in August. The pictures simply do not do the home justice and the place was immaculate. The kitchen, bathrooms, and utility room were extremely well-stocked with everything you need to live comfortably. The view from the terrace is beautiful thing to behold each morning.
A few things worth mention that may be useful for future guests:
1. The third bedroom is a converted attic bedroom that you have to climb a ladder-like stair to reach. This is not really a big deal, but it is something to keep in mind if you have knee issues, or do not want to deal with taking your luggage up and down a ladder.
2. The house has many windows so guests can enjoy the beautiful views. While this is definitely a plus, it also resulted in the home getting quite hot during the day. Even with two AC units running, the house gets hot. Rosana was nice enough to provide us with some fans, which helped a bit.
3. Whittier is a nice town with a cute little downtown area. The home itself is very close to the main shopping thoroughfare and there are several grocery stores, restaurants, and drugstores nearby. However, Whittier is to the East of LA and many of the LA area attractions are to the West. It took us on average 45-50 minutes to make it to the beaches driving in the LA morning traffic and 1 hr 15mins to 1.5 hours driving back home in the afternoon. This is doable if you don't mind driving, and you definitely get a bigger house with more amenities the farther out from LA that you go, but it is still something to consider.
Overall, we enjoyed our time at Rosana's and really appreciated all the thoughtful details she incorporated to make her guests feel like home. It was a very good experience and I would recommend this home to others.
