We stayed in Connie's place for two months during the summer with our five young children. We were a little concerned about what we'd find based on the most recent review, but we found it to be very clean and comfortable. Thank you for a great stay! We would definitely go again.
We loved:
- How perfectly clean it was when we arrived.
- How thoughtful they were to have bottled water, milk and food stocked in the fridge for us. That was such a blessing after a very long drive!
- Great communication from the hosts. They were very kind and accommodating!
- There were plenty of extra mattresses, pillows and linens, so every child could have their own bed or floor mattress.
- Super easy check-in with the keypad.
- How peaceful and quiet it was. It was so nice to come home to after a busy day in LA.
- The awesome couches that pop out into beds.
- Plenty of shampoo, body soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, cleaners and detergents for the entire two months! We were not expecting that and really appreciated it.
- Well-stocked kitchen with appliances, dishes and cutlery.
- We really appreciated the labels everywhere- really helped us find things!
- How large and open the rooms are- especially the kitchen and master bedroom.
- We loved having two tables and lots of seating.
- The fun crickets, peacocks, lizards and horses.
- Exploring the gorgeous peninsula was very fun.
Things to note:
- The main oven didn't work. (A small side oven did work.)
- Relatives of the owner frequently stopped by to get things from the garage, park in the driveway or walk around the property. It was disconcerting when I wasn't expecting it, but they were always very respectful and kind.
- The kitchen counter did have something wrong so that you could never get it clean.
- After we were there a while, we noticed that the rugs weren't as clean as we thought. There were pet urine stains on both rugs and one of the bench seats.
- The large ante-room is not connected to the AC. It gets very stuffy/warm if you're using it for a bedroom.
