I chose this cottage b/c the photo looked nice and I am already
familiar with the neighborhood of Mar Vista.
When I emailed the host 1 wk before my arrival, she did not reply after 3 attempts. It was a very frustrating experience. I contacted customer service and the host finally contacted me regarding check in information. The host was out of town for family reason but I still expect professionalism and prompt reply b/c I did not know what was going on.
The cottage was spacious and the kitchen was large and well stocked with pots and pans, utensils, etc. Refrigerator is large.
But, the condition of the cottage was worn and not as bright and
clean as the photo. The bathtub is also worn and bathroom tiles were moldy and shower curtain was also moldy. Main room rug
also had stains. There is a hole in the wall of the bathroom behind
the door (would be a good idea to install a door stop).
