Phil's place was wonderful! Highly recommend, and we would return. We wanted a location close to our friends nearby and central to restaurants, highways, and stores. It definitely fits both requirements.
The house is large, clean, nicely appointed, and comfortable, allowing the space for my family to spread out. It was cold during our stay, and the house heated quickly. The kitchen had all the necessities - coffee maker, hot water kettle, dishes, pots, and utensils. There were extra towels, blankets, and toiletries. The most spectacular features were the deck, large windows, and views. We had one warm day and enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck in the LA sun.
Phil is a great host. He is friendly, clear, and responsive. He left a very helpful manual about the house and the area. Again, would highly recommend!
