I needed to cancel this stay and am due a 50% refund but I haven't received it as of yet. I messaged the owner via text to ask about it with no response in weeks. I'd like the money I'm owed.
Funky and functional- Works for me!
Was good and functional on the inside the shower was tiny outside was full of weeds No level ground literally the driveway was so steep they had to put sandbags to keep water from going into the house . There was no trash can had to borrow one from a friend i was there 20 days had to ask the owner about figuring out the door combination and that the hot and cold was opposite on the kitchen sink i think it was way overpriced for what I saw outside Looked like a shack,
I really enjoyed staying here. I needed a place while I finished my 2week notice at work and then I am moving out of state. Everything was lovely, clean. Host was very accessible. The only thing I would change is maybe if they someday want to add a door to the shower instead of the curtain. It kept getting in my way. And maybe a garbage disposal and/or a trash can outside. But really so minor these inconveniences. It was/is very nice.
Everything about it was great! Manager was super quick to respond to questions. Property was very clean and had everything we needed!
I am not going to lie When I Drove up I was concerned but while it’s small it was perfect for two. It’s not in the best neighborhood and the gate is not automated. The outside if the house needs to be painted. But the inside us totally updated and a nice surprise. We ran out of paper towels and toilet paper. Overall it was perfect and I wanted to extend my stay but the place was booked.
We enjoyed our 2-night stay at this Vista guesthouse. There was a queen bed, a pullout sofa bed, a full kitchen, and bathroom with shower to accommodate our party of 3 adults and 2 dogs. It wasn't a big space, but it served our needs. We really enjoyed the privacy and convenience of a fully enclosed yard with gate so that the dogs could run around and we could enjoy the indoor/outdoor spaces. The reason we gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because we had some issues including: 1) The guesthouse was quite hidden and can be difficult to find 2) The WiFi code we received at first was inaccurate so we had to do some code guessing to finally get the right code 3) We were expecting to do some outdoor grilling but the BBQ did not work and looked like it wasn't used for some time 4) Listing pictures did not accurately reflect the property - the bathroom setup was actually different than listed and there was no outdoor sofa on the outdoor patio 5) The neighbors had 3 loud and mean-looking dogs who were constantly outside and would bark at any movement. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed our stay. But just keep in mind the aforementioned items to make sure that it'll be okay for you.
Would make a much better impression if the outside of the property was painted. Clean and adequate but shower is very small.
This spot was perfect for our trip. We did a little wine tasting with our German Shepherd, so having a yard for him to roam around freely, a table and grill for a cook-out was ideal. We felt right at home. The decor was cute & inviting w/ all the comforts of home. Such a nice weekend get away from LA.
This place had just the right amount of space for me.. I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you for letting my family stay over it was a great place!
