This home was very clean and cute, modern and lovely. Britta was very organized and very accommodating and easy to get ahold of at all times, even left us a printed manual on everything from the local restaurants to how to use the garbage disposal, which came in very handy. The house is exactly as shown in the pics, and in a cute neighborhood. I ran down to the beach one day, but I wouldn't walk it carrying beach towels and the like! The one thing you must be comfortable with, especially if you are staying with kids, is the sort of open concept…the master bedroom is a loft and you can hear everything in the house, and they can hear you! Also, for Princess and the Pea folks like me, the beds are very firm, not the plush, pillow-top American style, but the beds and the furniture are more European in design and comfort. If you are looking for a big comfy sofa and overstuffed chairs to sit and read and relax, this is not that place! If you are on the go all day and just need a nice clean place to sleep and eat, this is great! Also, there is no air-conditioning, which back in the Golden Days of Hollywood was fine, but now, thanks to global warming, L.A. is HOT and yes, the nights are usually cool, and they did provide fans for us, but note to middle-aged women: you might want to look for a place with air!
