The house was very nicely appointed with a great backyard. Even though it is very close to the freeway, the inside is quiet, and all you can hear at night from the bedrooms is the soothing sound of water from the little pond outside. The host was super responsive to our request for a few more spoons. This is a great little house for a small family with kids, with easy access to the beach and LA' attractions. Kitchen is well appointed and there are plenty of clean sheets and towels for everyone. Also a shower AND bathtub in the bathroom. Highly recommend!
