We spent five nights at this property as the final stage of our trip down the PCH with the intention of seeing a bit of LA. We did look at the previous reviews and did a bit of research around the area and the proximity to the sights etc. We had problems with the door lock.The host had advised us that it may stick and we spent a good 10 minutes trying to get in. I tried to ring him but the phone number was not in use, so I left a message but did not get any reply. We did eventually manage to gain entry and found a very clean and tidy house. The fittings and furniture were quite dated but the kitchen had all of the facilities that we needed and was spotless. The main living room was very basic with three vinyl fold down settee's which I imagine would make up the double beds if you were to bring 10 people to the property. The back garden/yard was shaded by large trees, the BBQ was large and modern but was filthy and hadn't been used in ages. Likewise, the outdoor furniture was also filthy and unusable - we never used either, in fact we never opened the back door again. The property is well located for Santa Monica (8 mins) and the other towns on the coast where we spent much of our time. We reached the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood in 30-40 mins. We also thought that the security deposit was somewhat excessive which was taken at time of payment and was only returned two weeks after we had left. A bit basic and not one to visit if you like lying in the sun.

Very nice little house, it was perfect for our short trip. Very close to the beach, quiet neighborhood. The host is very responsive and helpful, he even recommended great places to visit. I would definitely want to stay again. Thanks so much Ron for sharing your beautiful home with my family. 😊

Overall a very good experience. Only complaint is that I enjoy cooking and there was not a frying pan large enough to grill steaks or cook 4 eggs.

The house was just what we were looking for on our college campus tours around LA. Centrally located near the pier we enjoyed Venice Beach the Hollywood sign and the local eateries. It was big enough for our family of 5, I communicated with the owner when our flight landed and he let us come a little early when housekeeping was complete.

Had a great time

In 10+ years of using VRBO this was the one nightmare. There was no hot water. We were there for a 3 night stay, and since there was no hot water and they couldn’t get it fixed on a Saturday we had to move to a hotel. I understand that water heaters go out, but the host never refunded the 2 nights that we had agreed on.

Two bedrooms with ac. Very clean and walking distance to whatever you need. Communication with owner was great. He did everything to make it work.

The beds in the bedrooms were really comfortable. My friends who slept on the convertible couches wanted me to share that they were very firm and, due to the seams in the middle, they had to sleep on one side. They would recommend to the owner to purchase three mattress toppers for these. Related, my friends thought the convertible beds would not work with two adults-too small; it easily would work with two kids and would possibly work with two teenagers. The property was very clean and in a safe neighborhood. There were plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. The directions to the place and to gain entry were clear. I would recommend this property, especially if you have a large party.
