Our stay in Whittier was great! This was the perfect sized place for our family of 4. The cottage was spotless and the decor made us feel at home. The location was ideal as we were about 30-60 minutes away from all of the destinations visited such as Universal Studios, Disney, Hollywood sign, Hollywood Walk of Stars, Funko Pop Store, Santa Monica pier. There are plenty of supermarkets and places to eat in the area minutes away. Some features/items in the home we appreciated were:
1. Luggage racks
2. Alarm clock located in room
3. Iron/Ironing board
4. Gas stove
5. Garbage disposal
6. All types of utensils/pans needed
7. Water machine
8. Ice maker in freezer
9. Parking right outside of the cottage
10. Bath and beach towels
Ron was very responsive and friendly and made us feel like we could ask any questions without hesitation. Upon arrival we felt instantly welcomed as the TVs were turned on with music in the living room and cartoons in the kids room (I didn’t realize how much this made us feel at home) along with snacks for the kids on each bed. Some bottles of water and kids juices were left in the refrigerator, but the water bottles weren’t used because the drinking water machine was available and this saved us money that would’ve otherwise been spent on additional bottles/jugs of water. The Walmart was nearby and came in handy to pick up additional snacks and breakfast items. Although hotels can offer some of the items mentioned, I will always revert to Airbnb due to the positive experiences and the feeling of being in a home that is more personal and comforting. Thank you again Ron and if we’re ever in the area I hope you wouldn’t mind hosting us again.
