This is the third vacation villa we have rented. If you read any villa review that says everything was perfect? Don't believe it. There is always something to point out. As a result, I will be as honest and critical as I can. Even so, let me tell you: this was a fine condo, we had a great time, and I would have no problem renting this again.
The condo has two stories. The first story includes the kitchen, eating area, living room, bathroom, and laundry. The second floor has three bedrooms and two baths.
The first floor is an open floor plan where the living room and eating area are one large area and the kitchen is separated by a counter.
The condo is less than 100 yards from a four lane highway, thus you hear cars all the time. We live on a busy road, so, this was no problem for me. But if you aren't used to traffic noise this could be a problem for you.
The house is sparse on pots and pans. If you plan on cooking big meals? Bring more.
The house is good with bath towels but not wash cloths. You may want to bring those as well.
The furniture is lightly warn. There are stains on the ceiling, but those are only visible in sunlight. The bathrooms have signs above the toilet paper rolls that appear to warn against putting soiled toilet paper into the toilet. We found the message ridiculous and ignored it.
The beds were very comfortable and were newer Beauty Rest mattresses. There is a large flat screen TV in the living room, but small tube TV's in the bedrooms.
The condo has three bedrooms that can sleep six, plus a large pull out couch in the living room. The first floor is all tile. The stairs and second floor is plush carpet that is in good shape.
There is a patio just off the living room. Overtop the patio is a second floor balcony, connected to the master bedroom. The balcony sits two chairs comfortably and overlooks a court yard, of sorts. I walked the neighborhood. The neighborhood is very quite and we rarely saw any neighbors. The landscaping in the neighborhood is well kept, although there was a lot of small scraps of trash in the yards and gardens.
There is a pool and a park about a block away. We didn't have time to use it. There is a very nice club house several blocks away. And tennis courts and basket ball courts two blocks away.
There is a large coffee brewer in the kitchen, requiring filters and ground coffee. The appliances were in good condition and good working order. The washer and dryer worked well except the dryer struggled to get cloths dry and often needed to be ran several times.
No pest problem. I saw several dead worms in the corners, but that is minor. There was a tree frog on the kitchen counter when we arrived, which I quickly evicted.
Garbage collection was unique. Simply drop the garbage into a buried canister outside near the front door and someone comes by every day and takes care of it.
The condo area is gates with a wire fence around the perimeter. This would block cars but not people on foot. To get your car into te neighborhood you will need a gate pass. A gate pass requires a refundable $10 deposit, obtained at the club house.
So there it is. An honest review of the condo. As I already mentioned, I would have no problem renting this again.
A very good and informative article indeed. It helps me a lot to enhance my knowledge, I really like the way the writer presented his views. LOS ANGELES GUEST SUITES
