I drove up and down california over two weeks with my parents and stayed in 6-7 different locations. Vanessa's house was by far our best stay. Vanessa was so welcoming and kind, not to mention super patient with my parents whom struggle with english. The house was lovely and full of character but with all the amenities you'd expect cranked up to eleven. Excellent AC/heating system controlled by a Nest and the internet was the fastest of all the places I stayed. So fast in fact that my dad's old computer seemingly couldn't keep up with it and we had to router it through my phone to "slow it down" haha. But for me, who was working remotely on a lot of cloud-based projects, it worked like a charm.
The location of the house is basically a 15-20min drive to basically anything you'd want to get to. Truly truly convenient - especially considering LA prices. Def recommend and def will try and stay here again next time I'm in town
