This house is in a lovely quiet area within easy driving of several nice beaches and not far to Los Angeles by car or public transport.
Unfortunately the house was not clean when we arrived so we contacted the owner that day. Eight days into our holiday a cleaner came. It was still not very clean but it was better.
We paid an extra cost for cleaning on top of the rental fee and we don't feel that it was justified. The house was tidy and the bathrooms looked clean but the kitchen and living room surfaces were visibly grubby.
The griddle doesnt work on the cooker, the cupboard doors and drawer fronts are falling off, the toaster doesnt work properly, more than half of the lights round the hot tub are not working and some of the jets are broken too.
We could have reported all of this but wanted to enjoy our holiday more. We didn't feel that it was our responsibility, as paying guests. It should have all been ready for our arrival and it hadn't been checked.
We would not stay here again.
