We stayed here as a family with our two small kids in late December. We enjoyed having the pool heated and hot tub which we used even when it was winter in LA. The kitchen had mostly everything we needed and it was nice to have two bathrooms. The downside was that beds were not super comfy (but this may be a personal taste). The outdoor spaces were really lovely and had heaters so it was nice to sit outside even in the winter. Overall, very welcoming with lots of attention to details.
