We had a fantastic time here! John was very gracious and responded to messages super quickly. Entry and checkout were easy. The gardens are AMAZING—it really is a SoCal oasis. We all loved the open floor plan from living room to dining area to kitchen—it was great for a group, everyone could find a place to be and relax. The back porch is where you’ll talk for hours with loved ones as you watch hummingbirds, and the koi in their pond. Clean!!!! Met all our needs, and exceeded expectations. Only about 9 mi from the beaches. Close to SoFi stadium—after an event the auto traffic is NOT conducive to an Uber (or similar) ride—we were able to walk back to the house just fine (maybe 2 miles? It went quickly)! We would definitely stay here again 👍 I recommend!
