Andy's home was just as pictured. He met us with a friendly welcome and showed us around, and responded quickly by message to a few questions that came up during the trip. My kids appreciated the books and art supplies, as well as the beautiful little fairy house. There is a Starbucks and grocery store within walking distance, and we drove easily to both Santa Monica and Manhattan Beaches. For runners, you can just step outside and roam the residential neighborhoods. Would definitely stay again!
