Pensionat med boblebad, spansk gårdhave og springvand

Thank you Sara - it was great to host you! Please return!

Pamela, upon booking was well aware of the shower being outdoors (one of the favorite features of our guests over the past 10 years) . Had she communicated her needs (i.e pots and pans for cooking on the hot plate), adjustment to the mattress, we would have certainly accommodated and made sure she was happy. However, we can't mind read a guest who does not communicate anything.

Glad Elliott appreciated the absolute cleanliness of the property in this time of Covid, but I was disappointed that he wasn't willing to follow our Covid-protocol instructions such as leaving the used dishes out in a plastic bag for us to run through the dishwasher in the main house. Also his communication about what he might have needed (i.e. more bags, a collander) was non-existent, and, in fact, he (rudely) never even acknowledged me when passing to and fro on the property, even upon his arrival. Regarding expectations and off-limit areas, those were communicated well in advance of his reservation and are based on 10 years of experience with vacation rentals, and he had the opportunity to either not book the property, or cancel if he decided that he was unwilling to respect them or not accepting of them.

I had told Peter in advance that the primary space was not very large and would not be ideal for guests spending a lot of time inside the guest house. Most guests are here to visit friends/families and tour the LA area, coming back at night primarily to sleep and start the next day out and about again. The bed features a new, queen sized standard thick mattress that replaced a thinner sofa-bed mattress that some guests had found uncomfortable. Peter and his wife wanted more space to watch the TV without being in the bed, so we rectified the situation by moving the mattress and folding up the sofa, replacing the cushions on it so Peter and his wife could watch the TV sitting on the sofa. Regarding the shades: the guest house gets direct western sunlight for most of the afternoon which can create too much heat inside as well as bleach the furniture and fine wood finishes inside over time. The solar shades we installed block the sun’s UVA/UVB rays, while allowing plenty of light to filter through and prevent the property from getting too hot inside. They hardly create a dark and unwelcoming space.

Thank you Sarah ! it was great to host you - please return!
