The house was exactly as advertised. Clean, in great condition, and no unpleasant surprises of any kind. It's a great "LA Experience" house with superb indoor/outdoor flow, nice views, good access to attractions, and a nice quiet neighborhood.
Mark greeted us on Christmas day with good cheer and patiently went through the various systems and features of the house. There was complimentary bottled water and a nice bottle of wine in the very well stocked kitchen. Clearly, the property is run by a professional operation.
The house is very modern and as such has very modern systems with "Alexa" and a tablet controlling many of them--so if that's not your thing, be advised. Additionally, the house has one of those classic steep LA driveways which had a bit of a learning curve to get comfortable navigating--that said we did rent a fairly large vehicle which increased the difficulty level.
The house is expensive, but I suppose there is a premium for such a seamless and professional experience
