charming, nicely fragrant house

5 of 5
Submitted: April 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
The house is located on a quiet street, with good parking and close access to grocery stores and the highways, and reasonably close to Venice Beach. Our family of 6 was comfortably accommodated. The open layout and backyard also allowed us to host meals for other family without feeling cramped. My only complaint is the bikes were not safely rideable and need repair. Helmets might also be needed. Otherwise, we greatly enjoyed our stay and how well Ross ensured the house had all the necessary provisions.

Very beautiful

Submitted: March 25, 2013 Stayed: June 2012
I stayed in this house with my large family (me, my wife and 4 children aged 13, 11, 9 and 6 years old) in June 2012.
The house is beautiful, spacious, better than it looks on the website, the owner is very kind and friendliest.
The house is situated in a quiet and very convenient for visiting the city.
A special mention deserves the garden and the envelope for the barbecue.
Certainly recommended

Cute cottage, well-appointed and clean

4 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My family stayed at this cottage for 5 nights while we visited the area and enjoyed the convenience of the well-appointed kitchen. The owner was very accommodating and even brought some items that we needed during our stay. The house is super clean and sweet-smelling. I would have given an Excellent rating if it were truly a "short walk to the beach" (which it is not) and if the bikes were in better shape for our use. We still enjoyed the free parking, the open and airy den and kitchen, and especially the sweet-smelling flowers surrounding the house.

Owner's Response: Thank you, Rose, for your comments. All of our guests have been very pleased with the distance from the house to the beach and have had no problem walking it, especially since the street passes the beautiful Venice Canals next to the ocean. We also provide a complete address to our guests before they make a decision to book the house. Thank you for letting us know about the one bike, which had a pedal problem which we have now fixed. Other than this all four of our bikes are less than 2 years old and in excellent shape. We provide them for free as a courtesy to our guests so they can enjoy the beach area.

My husband and I and our five young children recently spent six days in this lovely home. It was clean, comfortable and certainly afforded us more space than a hotel would have. It's location was perfect for exploring the L.A. area and beach cities. As a bonus, it is located only 45 minutes away from Disneyland and California Adventure Park, a must if you have children. I would highly recommend this charming home and would certainly return again. Thank you Ross!
