Ok I will try not to write a novel here but I cannot say enough great things about this property. It was absolutely perfect for our stay. My cousin and I booked Chris and Nancy's place for my 45th birthday celebration and we brought along FOUR generations of family to join on the celebration. This trip took place on the heels of back to back losses in our family so it turns out that in addition to celebrating my birthday the family really needed a getaway to heal and we picked the perfect place for it. This place literally checks all of the boxes, and the outdoor area was like your very own private oasis. Large heated pool which we all enjoyed, hot tub, basketball hoop, mini tennis court, outdoor kitchen with the most amazing views. I can keep going about the property, even the interior was just right and the area for my kids was phenomenal, even better than the pictures depict.
I recommend this property to anyone looking to have a combo of great inside and looking to spend a good amount of time outside as well. Internet speed was great, helped me keep up with east coast work with no issue, all the TV's were large and had no issue connecting to streaming services. In fact I recommended it to a friend while I was still there. Everything was perfect and Chris is one of the best hosts I've met. Came over to look at a minor issue for us, and took care of quite a few things while he was there and hung out for a bit with us, just an all around great host.
The only issue I have with the property was the fact that I didn't book it for two weeks. We were not ready to leave when we did and could have easily stayed a few more days. It's location is close enough to everything you want to do, I got to our Beverly Hills office in around 20 mins, and same to Hollywood when I went in town. Plenty of markets and shops within minutes of the property. We absolutely loved the location. Nice an quiet area, I am sure we were the loudest people around and we had my 89 year old grandfather with us so that noise level remained in check. We enjoyed the place so much that we did not venture out that often to sightsee or anything to the point that we had to rush out on the next to last day to see things because we were so content with our surroundings. This place is perfect for a staycation or a vacation and even if you never leave the property you will enjoy your trip to California!
I only have great things to say about the place, and it went a long way to helping our family begin to reset and rebuild from our losses and start getting back into our new normal. Everything was perfect. We almost considered making an offer to purchase it because it was everything we would need in a place. Can't wait to come back.
