This is our second stay in this home. We loved then, and we love it still!
We went to California to see the sights and watch our Daughter graduate from college.
We needed a nice quiet place to stay with comfortable beds and parking. - This home has room for a full sized van and a 4 door car parked back to front, which is what we had for this trip, 3 bedrooms, an office with a desk and WIFI if you need to do a little "away from home" working, and 1 full bath.
Jason has been a gracious host and as always is quick to reply when we have questions about the house, or the surrounding area. Neighbors are very quiet and helpful if you are blessed with meeting one or two of them.
We didn't use the stove this time around, but we did use some of the dishes, he has a dishwasher in the unit, but we just washed everything we used by hand and put it away, it was just a couple of plates and forks. We did use the washer and dryer, and they can double as an alarm too - LOUD buzzer, you can hear it all throughout the house, so use with this in mind if you have children napping.
The third bedroom is an add-on adjacent to the laundry room, and doesn't have access to the central air conditioning from the house - There are 2 portable air conditioners provided (not sure you even need one, at least not in October). it was pretty cool there during the night, so I just opened the windows. A fan would work well in that room too, just for air circulation. at least for me anyway. If you like to sleep cool, choose a room in the house where the central air is accessible. I like this room because I am sensitive to noise and wake easily in unfamiliar environments.. This room reminds me of where I grew up, so I feel instantly comfortable and safe in there and the room is away from the rest of the house and separated by 2 sets of doors, so it's very quiet. Yes I slept with the windows open and the neighborhood is quiet!
We spent most of our time in LA and north of LA - the drive wasn't too bad, anywhere from 25 min to an hour depending on time of day and traffic. We were there during the week, so we caught some of the rush hour traffic, but it was still not anything like what we see in Virginia to DC on a daily basis.
Our experience over all second time around.... still love this place! and will most definitely stay here again when visiting California.
I hope this helped.
