Emmett's house was exactly as represented in the photos and description, and was a perfect fit for us (four women and a one-and-a-half-year-old). We enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces, and my son (the toddler) had enough room to run around and play and really loved little Leroy (the dog) who was so patient with him! It is a quick walk to the canals and Abbott Kinney, and a nice run to and along the beach, which I enjoyed a couple of mornings. We went bike riding on the beach, walked the canals, grabbed tasty salads at Lemonade on Abbot Kinney and ate on Emmet's patio, enjoyed a few evening hot-tubs, and even did a little boogie-boarding, so we were thoroughly entertained both at Emmet's house and by the surrounding area. I would definitely want to return.
