***POOL IS SHARED WITH OTHER GUESTS***
Serena’s home was lovely and provided the perfect location for exploring the LA area. The neighborhood is peaceful and close to everything, and Serena’s home exudes a relaxed SoCal vibe that was perfect for our trip.
While we had the entire property to ourselves due to COVID-19, there are two additional bunkhouses out back that would have shared the pool with us, and this is not clear in the property description. Not only would we have had to share the pool with other guests, the bunkhouses can be seen right into from the pool. If you are not securing the entire property, this is something we felt should be more clearly disclosed. If you are looking for a private pool for your stay, you must ensure you’ve rented the main house and the bunkhouses, or you simply won’t be getting what you paid for.
Other than that, Serena is extremely responsive, communicative, and helpful. Her guide book in the home provided all kinds of great local advice for food and activities. Serena is a 5 star host and this is a 5 star property, just be sure you understand the pool.
