Great experience. We didn't cook much in the kitchen but it seemed well stocked with dishes and supplies. Loved having a washer and dryer in the home. The gated driveway was nice and it was great to be able to have so many people in one home - we spent more time together than we would have if we had had hotel rooms. L.A. traffic is what it is, but the host left a note with nearby stores that was very helpful.
