This is indeed a cosy peaceful retreat, quiet and calm in a good neighbourhood with wide streets and not much traffic and a lovely green garden. The house is 1940s with original fittings in the kitchen and air heating and cooling vents. It's a lovely unusual place but perhaps not the best place for older people to stay in late July and August when the LA heat gets into the 90s and the mosquitos are raging (note that mozzies are unusual and bad this year due to the huge volume of rain which fell on LA in the winter and spring). The house is old and needs a little bit more care than a newer place. A written guide on what to do and not to do would be appreciated, I'm sure that the nice owners can provide this to help. As it's old the house naturally has a few quirks but nothing to put anyone off if care is applied. The dog and cat are a friendly and fun addition but watch out that the dog doesn't run out of the gate when you come and go!
