This is a beautiful house with great furnishings, and we had a comfortable stay overall. I especially loved sitting on the couch in the afternoon, talking and enjoying the space and the quintessential view of the houses dotting the LA hills as the sun went down. The houses are right on top of each other--that's just how it is in the area--but it was very quiet and private. A few things in the house are in need of updating/refreshing, and when I brought them to Ashton's attention he was very appreciative and he clearly wants his guests to have a good experience. Ashton is a very responsive host and communication with him was easy. The outdoor space is great, too.
