We had such a lovely time with Vanessa. The house was great. It was clean and spacious and had absolutely everything that we needed. The garden was great for our little 2 year old to run around in and it was fully fenced off so we didn't have to worry about him running away or anything. Vanessa and her husband were absolutely wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming and hospitable and nothing was too much trouble for them. They made sure we had everything that we needed - even spending 30 minutes helping us to get our phones and iPad and laptop to connect to the wifi internet. The house is 2 minutes drive away from a good supermarket and is within 10 minutes of other supermarket options. With quick access to all the freeways, we were able to get around everywhere throughout LA without much hassle (we just wish the traffic was better..!! LOL). The kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom super clean and the beds very comfortable. The whole house was spotless and quiet at night. We definitely recommend Vanessa to a prospective traveller and would definitely stay again if we are fortunate to head back over to the US.
