I stayed here with my family for 9 days and we absolutely loved the fact that it felt like a cosy home away from home! We had 4 people stay which was perfect as there is ample space for everyone. Whether you wanted to sit and read on the couch, watch tv or just lay in bed in between the day activities - the place was great! There's a cosy garden area as well which includes a seating area so if the weather is good you can bring a book out and enjoy the sunshine or watch the squirrels play from the living room window. Everything you need is provided for - from the bathroom amenities (a bath set was a truly great touch after a lot of driving and travel!) to the kitchen ware and also laundry detergent. The area is safe and the neighbors are friendly. There is a running/cycling route just down the street which we made use of during our stay there. We loved that the area is away from the hectic city vibe and yet still conveniently located from all the main spots one would want to visit in LA. It's about 20-30 minutes drive to LACMA/Downtown LA. It was about 10-15 minutes drive to Santa Monica. There's also downtown Culver City which has a great offering of food outlets, eateries, bars, Trader Joe's, cinema, etc. The two managers who were there to receive us and make sure everything was okay were simply the best! During our stay we needed an extra key and they were able to make an extra copy in less than 30 minutes so that our schedule didn't need to be re-worked. We also needed a hair-dryer and a brand new one appeared the very next day. They were extremely hospitable and we enjoyed greeting them every morning on our way out from our place.

Just some suggestions for future:
- 1 of the bathrooms might do well to have an added door as when you're staying with friends or an extended family member it's a little awkward having to ask the other party to leave the room as you use the shower

- 1 of the beds squeaked throughout the night so 2 members of the family weren't as well rested as we were in the morning.

- The laundry door could also have a door added as it was a little noisy when we wanted to watch what was on the tv without the volume being too loud.

- Something about the material of the floorboards that just kept picking up dust around the house. Not sure what can be done here but perhaps a quick fix of coating the floorboards with something.

- The dining room chairs are a little too cramped making it challenging for people to pass through to the laundry or kitchen when people are seated. A few minor trip ups so perhaps a change in the chairs or table could do the trick.
