A very cute little place. Clean, well equipped. Nice bathroom.
The garden is lovely! A more comfortable lounging chair up top would be great!
I ended up carrying up one of the big red chairs from down below, and placing it behind the swing, and putting my legs over the back of the loveseat swing. Perfect lounging w a cup of coffee!
The swing is cute but uncomfortable.
Deb was a gracious hostess. Checkin was easy and painless, designated parking was great.
The kitchenette although well equipped, was a bit of a hassle to actually use, as to use the toaster over for example, one had to put the coffee maker on the floor, etc... Although I had brought eggs, it was just too much of a hassle to take all that off the counter in order to take the hotplate from where it was shelved. That said, where there is a will there is a way! So you could make it work.
Make sure you turn down the little fridge to Medium as it froze everything the first night. I had to toss the bag of arugula etc. On the up side, it is a powerful little fridge w no discernible hum.
The only issue for me was the kitchen sink. I recalled reading in the notes that it might fill up w/ food on the little drain screen, but it filled up even when the grate was clean. And it happened exactly the same way both nights - stopped draining in the afternoon through the evening, suddenly emptied in the morning. Clearly (I found out afterwards there is a special plunger on had just for this,) it is a regular occurrence and at $300 a night, should be fixed!!
It made washing any food or dishes, pouring out an old cup of coffee, etc, impossible. The sink drains perfectly in the bathroom (which I ended up using for theses things,) so it is not simply a matter of Topanga plumbing, but of this particular sink. And it is a tiny sink to begin with, so....
Other than that , a lovely stay! You will enjoy it!
