Vardan is the King of Hospitality! He and Anna supply their lovely little cottage with travel size toiletry items. Even a spare toothbrush. I forgot to bring a bath sponge/scrubby. When I opened a drawer to put my toiletries in it there was a new bag of bath sponges and a pair of scissors to open it. It was like they read my mind!
I had previously shared with Vardan that I was here to visit my elderly mother. He and Anna are so extremely thoughtful that they bought a dozen beautiful white roses and left them in a vase with a note that they were for my mother. Who does that!
Guests are also greeted with a bottle bottle of red wine. You are also encouraged to text Vardan if anything has been overlooked. But you won’t have to do that; Vardan and Anna think of everything for their guest’s comfort, down to the smallest details.
The cottage itself is completely adorable! It is a standalone house surrounded by a wrought iron fence. There’s plenty of seating, a sweet little kitchen with a gas stove, lovely furniture. An updated bathroom and shower. The TV has Roku instead of cable which was complicated for me to navigate. But that probably wouldn’t be a problem for most people.
There is a outdoor patio strung with lights that are operated by remote control.
Everything looks brand new, pristine and extremely clean. The towels are soft and fluffy. More hangers in the closet than you could possibly need. A few bottles of juice and water to get you started until you can grocery shop. I couldn’t ask for a better place to rent. Whenever I come back to Burbank, I will definitely stay here.
