Our week long stay at Carol and Vincent's cottage was everything we expected from our vacation rental and more! This was our first Airbnb experience, as well as our first time in LA, and we were extremely pleased with our decision to make this our home for the time being. The cottage itself was cozy, tastefully put together, and exceptionally clean. It felt like home right away. It had everything we could possibly need and if we happened to need anything extra, they were very prompt in getting it to us. Both the bed and the foldout sofa were very comfortable. Unlike many hotels where you are left to wonder if the sheets have actually been washed, the sheets here were evidently fresh out of the laundry. The fridge and cabinets in the kitchen came stocked with plenty of things. Overall, the entire cottage was functional and clean. The only thing which we had been concerned about before we got there, having no sink in the kitchen, turned out to be even better this way. Carol and Vincent provided us with a plastic container where we could put our dirty dishes. When we went out, they would take the container and by the time we got back to the cottage all the dishes were clean and back in their place. Who wants to do dishes on vacation anyway? Not us! Whenever we needed to wash fruits or veggies we had two other sinks we could use (bathroom and outside just a few steps away). Not only was the place spotless on the day we occupied it, but they came by every single day when we went out and did some light cleaning such as wiping counters, taking out the garbages, vacuuming, restocking certain items, etc. Every time we walked in that door we were blown away by how Carol and Vincent went above and beyond their duties as hosts! They have definitely set the bar high for all future vacation rentals. Aside from the fact that their cottage was great and they have a natural knack for hosting, they are all around amazing people. They were always courteous and willing to help in whatever they could. They were very respectful of giving us our space and at the same time they were very welcoming and friendly. Since we were there for Christmas they told us we were more than welcome to come celebrate with them, their family, and friends if we wanted to come. We are so glad that we did! We had a great time with them exchanging stories, laughing, and meeting all the lovely people they surround themselves with. They were also so sweet that they actually went out and bought our two year old a remote control car for Christmas and he is just in love with it! There has not been a single day that he has not played with it since! We feel so blessed to have come here and to have met them! Let's...
