I enjoyed the hot tub, large kitchen.The garden is lovely with many plants and water features. The location close to 5 freeway and on the landing approach to airport (low flying commercial airplanes) turned out to be not such a bother. Inside the house it was not very noticable and I slept very well (good beds) and house clean.

For this listing (special rate), the room assignment was confusing. From the pictures on the listing I had a different idea of the room than the actual one assigned. The host Michael was out of town but had emailed me prior to my arrival, asking if I was OK with the renovated wine cellar (with low ceiling- no pictures of this room on the listing). Being tall, I had my doubts about this-which I communicated with him.Upon arrival I was actually placed there but it was too cramped and claustrophobic, at least for me.

I spoke with Eric, the property manager, he was very nice and accommodating. He transferred me to another room (wish I had asked earlier). I had some nice conversations with Eric and some of the other guests (there are many rooms rented out -about 8?).

The location is convenient to the 5Fwy entrance and Little Italy. I walked there several evenings. Suggestions provided by Eric were great.
