My family's stay at Scott's place was fantastic! The house was just as described - very comfortable, well equipped, clean, and in a great location. But even better was Scott's hospitality. Even though we arrived on Christmas Day, Randi was there to let us in and give us a tour. There was a bottle of wine and some goodies waiting for us which was very welcome after a day of travelling. Shortly after we arrived Scott called to make sure everything was okay. The next morning he showed up with a box of delicious Sidecar donuts (and he was right, after trying them we did have to go back)! Mid-week he also delivered another box of local pastries. He also checked frequently to make sure we had everything we needed - you could tell he really cared. He even invited my husband to a football game though unfortunately we already had tickets to something else so he couldn't go. And of course he generously shared the company of his three extremely well behaved and friendly dogs.
The unit itself was a good size for our family of four. The living area was very comfortable for the evenings when we wanted to stay in and the back yard patio was great for enjoying the daytime sunshine. The bathrooms and kitchen were spotless and well equipped. The location could not be beat - we were able to walk to the ocean, the farmer's market and the Third Street Promenade in no time. It was also a couple of blocks from the highway when we did want to drive places.
Scott's recommendations about local restaurants and activities were also great. We tried several and were never disappointed. I especially recommend the walking route he pointed out - fantastic views over the canyon to Pacific Palisades and Malibu. We wouldn't have found it without Scott's advice.
All in all you can't go wrong if you decide to stay here.
