Leanna was very friendly and welcoming. She was flexible with our arrival dates, times, and number of people (my husband decided to go on the trip at the last minute). She made us a yummy dinner of leftovers the first night we arrived, as it was very late and we were tired and nothing much was open. She chatted with us on any number of topics.
The setting was exactly as described, in a beautiful LA back yard surrounded by trees and flowers, and with a lovely hot tub a few steps away. Her pets were also very friendly, welcoming us at the door every time, and keeping us company in the evenings.
