This was a great location for us. Centrally located in the San Fernando Valley with easy access to 101. The guest house was clean and tidy, although there were a few issues. I will limit my comments to what we experienced and try not to editorialize too much.
The host was slow to respond - 3 unanswered emails and one unanswered text before I was contacted by the person who was managing the property (not Jane). While this is a guest house the extent to which we would be sharing the pool area was unclear - upon arrival the property manager was there to ensure we got in, she advised us that there had ben a party there the night before and that the carpet was cleaned, although it was still wet when we checked in at 10 PM. The property manager and others remained by the pool - we could hear their conversation/laughter as we were going to bed/sleep. We noted several things upon checking in. One bathroom was leaking water. At first we thought from the toilet but then we isolated it to the sink. We contacted the property manager and the water to the bathroom sink was simply turned off - it remained off for the duration of our stay. We therefore needed to wash hands either in the shower, the other bathroom or sink in common area after using the bathroom. Further, we noted shortly after check-in that there was 1/2 roll of toilet paper for 2 bathrooms and 5 of us. We contacted the property manager (still by the pool) and we were provided with toilet paper. The last night we were there, we heard some weird sounds from the pool area etc - made us a bit nervous, especially my wife and daughter, since it was difficult to lock the door. The next morning I received a text apologizing for the inconvenience and stating that a bottle of wine had been left for us.
Once again, a great location, lovely setting, clean, but given the above I would not choose to stay here in the future.
