This is a wonderful place to stay! There was plenty of space for me, my adult son, and our pet. Our host anticipated everything guests might need and this felt warm and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked and organized. There is a lovely garden with string lights that come on at night. This made the garden magical.

Amazing property! Nicely appointed & well maintained. Had no idea such a serene back yard could be found in suburban LA. It was great sitting outdoors in December getting a tan (temps in high 60s) and feeling like we were @a retreat in Napa. The electric fireplace indoors was a nice touch once the sun set & it got a bit chilly. Despite Hilda the hostess (very sweet lady) occupying the front home, we saw/heard zero of her coming/goings. Can’t wait to return for our next So.Cal LA trip.
