We didn't see much of our hosts during our stay, but when you're on a private getaway, you kind of want it that way. When we arrived, Crobin was waiting with us. He was helpful and polite. He gave us a tour of the place and offered some good tips for where to eat and things to do. The place was clean and comfortable. A lot of nice little touches added here and there (like a welcoming plate of fruit, cheese, and crackers, as well as juice, milk, and cereal waiting for breakfast). It's in a great location if you're looking to explore the coast and West LA (which we were). Two things to note, though. The place is a little smaller than it looks in the pictures. That's not the hosts fault, but I thought I would let future guests know. Also, we were under the impression the back patio area was private, when it is actually shared with the backyard, and they have big open windows from their living room (?) looking out into it. Once again, it wasn't a misleading by the hosts, just something I had mistakenly assumed.
