En farverig bungalow til L. A. Eventyr, tæt på strande og motorvej

You were our dream guest John, and thanks so much for your expertise in assessing our systems! It has worked out great for us renting for the long months while we travel, and you and your guests are welcome back anytime!

I was ecstatic reading this review, we did pull out all the stops for your special weekend so I am so glad it worked for you. I am an artist and a "picker" and a traveller too, so thus the masks and eclectic finds that you appreciate. Some folks who think that brown and beige are the only colors to decorate with don't "get" me but your crowd clearly does! Gotta love Louisiana, I have so many ties there. Please make our California home a regular stop on your journeys, and visit our places in Joshua Tree California, Wimberley Texas, and Cape Cod Massachusetts for equally wonderful accommodations! and may your first holiday season as a married couple bring you every happiness. cheers always, Martha

Oh so great! Since I hadn't heard from you I was wondering. Please come back soon, Martha

Oh I'm so glad you get me, you really get me! I'm glad to know we are kind of neighbors, and thanks for the flowers, that was a first! Please do come back soon.

I declined to rate this renter as I do not believe in releasing negativity into the world if I can possibly avoid it. She did have a late check in because my housekeeper of 26 years had a medical emergency and did not get the house ready on time. I offered her compensation for that glitch, apologized profusely, and wished her well. When she checked out we realized she had hosted a paint party for small children, ruined with paint stains around 20 of our nice new white towels, and broke several china dinner plates. Since the insurance policy purchased by renters covered such things we made a claim, that's what it's for, why wouldn't I? I never accused her of anything. My housekeeper had already cleaned the floor when she got there, the garden had just been watered, and her children tracked mud in again after it was clean. It was very inappropriate for this renter to blame housekeeping for her own children's mess. I guess I will focus on her opening, that it's a good house and a good location. And please read the other reviews on this and my four other properties, we try above all to provide a perfect as possible setting for our renters to enjoy their events. I regret this renter's perception, who knows what she is dealing with to act this way. I guess I should go back and give her the rating she deserves so other owners won't be subjected to this but I just can't do it, that's not who I am. Live and Learn!
