Wonderful experience all around, as Alice was very good to deal with from initial contact through the entire stay. She was very accommodating and responsive during the booking process and whenever we had questions during our stay. The home suited the needs of our family of five perfectly, nice layout with plenty of amenities. It is well wired for Apple technology enthusiasts, which worked very well for us. The kitchen was well appointed yet missing a dedicated toaster with a functional toaster-oven serving the purpose. The kitchen, opened up to the back yard which allowed us to enjoy the alfresco dining in the evenings. Location was perfect for our side trips to Disneyland and Universal Studios and generally worked well for all of our LA area activities. It is a functioning household which offers the benefits of access to items that are not available in other rental homes but it does require some flexibility on the part of the renter to work around the hosts personal items. One note, you better love antiques as you are surrounded 360 degrees by them and they add a more formal/scary feel to the home. All in all, a wonderful home, fantastic host and great stay!
