Chris was extremely helpful and tried in every way possible to make our stay comfortable. The neighborhood was as described, roosters in the morning with the addition of nearby horses whinnying. There were also a flock of parrots that decided to pay us a visit one morning. All of these natural elements were a pleasant departure from the chaos that is LA.
Not having to stay in a traditional hotel has always been a plus for my husband and I. We are very private people and prefer not having to engage people (other hotel guests and hotel staff members).
Tips for Chris: I would suggest an upgrade in sheets for the bedrooms. Polyester sheets caused the mattress to slip and slide on the plastic protection covering on the mattresses. One hundred % cotton sheets can be purchased cheaply from Pottery Barn or even from Amazon.
Suggestion # 2: Specific instructions on how to use Roku, as in how to access regular, non-cable tv shows.
Suggestion # 3: To begin, I am a 'clean freak. The morning after our arrival my husband mopped the floors, and then cleaned the kitchen counters, ect., although not dirt or detritus was visible. The bath tub and bathroom sink could have been cleaner.
Suggestion # 4: Provide rolls of toilet tissue for guests as well as paper hand towels in the kitchen.
My suggestions are minor, to say the least, and perhaps because mt husband and I have raised children and retired, our needs in a physical surrounding could be quite different from younger people. Our 43 year old daughter examined the home before our arrival and judged the property to be neat and clean.
