This was a perfect stay at an enchanting, peaceful, beautiful guest house & absolutely amazing hosts!! It is close to everything, but feels like a rustic country retreat in Europe and very healing. Relaxing in the ozone stone hot tub every night was divine & a bit mind-blowing in that full moon under a huge lemon tree! The hosts give you space, but are very caring and go out of their way when anything is needed. Great shower, beautifully decorated & the fanciest tea pot I have ever seen. It had every ammendity anyone could want. We are so glad we stayed here & will be back!! Thank you Beth & Milo!!

A great hideaway in LA

I stayed here while dropping my son off at UCLA. It was perfect. Very clean and comfortable and close to restaurants, the highway, etc. The unit is behind the main house, but it is still private. The host was very helpful and easy to connect to. Best of all the bed was as amazing. I would stay here again.

Lovely Property and Lovely Hosts

What a wonderful property!!! Tucked away in Beth and Milo's backyard, next to the pool and spa, this is a comfortable, quiet little oasis. If you enjoy meeting property hosts, you will really enjoy staying here. Milo was the host with the most! He gave us amazing recommendations for food close by, prepared the spa for us and sent us on our way with fresh-picked oranges. A very memorable experience indeed!

Hidden Gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It is in a lovely neighborhood on a quiet street near shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. It was such a cute space, tucked away from the main house and very private and safe.The hosts were very kind and welcoming. Email communication prior to our visit was informative, clear, and thorough. Milo could not have been more helpful with all the very useful tips about how to navigate the area and local places to go in town. It was our first time visiting LA with our family and staying there made our visit very memorable. Thank you Milo and Beth for welcoming us and sharing your lovely home with us.

One night stay

We came to visit Santa Monica Pier. I was with my daughter and her friend. This rustic little place was clean and comfortable. The check in was very detailed. Milo is very friendly and proud of his home. This cottage is in the back yard behind a main house. Depending on your taste this place may mot be for travelers who like privacy or little to no interaction with their host. My daughter and her friend enjoyed the hot tub. Milo came to check on them several times and told them some good stories. They said that they felt they were vacationing with Milo.

Beautiful Property / Strange Host

The property was beautiful, the beds were comfy and the pool was a lovely addition. The property is near the freeway and in the flight path of LAX--which you only notice if outside. While the property was lovely, I wouldn't stay there again. The host Milo was often outside (& super chatty) if we were outside, so it didn't feel like we had much privacy if we were outside of the villa. And he also made an inappropriate comment to my friend about "chasing her" if "he were younger."

Humble Cottage on the Westside

Upon our arrival after a long journey, Milo warmly welcomed us and gave us a comprehensive tour of the rental cottage and its amenities. Every day, as we bid farewell, Milo offered valuable advice on exploring Los Angeles. Upon our return, we felt like we had stepped back into our own home.However, our biggest disappointment was the state of the property. Despite the high cleaning fee we had paid at the time of booking, we had high expectations for cleanliness. The pervasive dust, both floating and settled in corners of furniture, made our daily tasks, such as changing bedding sheets and lowering curtains, a chore. To add to the discomfort, the property was infested with spiders and their webs, hanging in corners or accumulating on light fixtures. One particularly alarming incident involved a large spider crawling on one of the beds.Another area that fell short of our expectations was the kitchenette. Shelving, the wooden cutting board, pots, pans, and dishes were covered in caked-on debris and grease, making food preparation unpleasant. On our first night, we had to purchase cleaning supplies to make the kitchen usable.The restroom, like the rest of the property, was in a state of disarray. It featured exposed copper piping that made showering uncomfortable alongside a numerous amount of spiders.In hindsight, if we had raised the issue during our stay, the accumulated dust would have posed a greater health risk if it had been addressed promptly.

Cute house

The house was very cute, as pictured. We arrived late after traveling all day and Milo took us around back to the guest house and went over everything in the house. He was very friendly and talkative but we were exhausted and just wanted to get ready for bed. Having a book with all the information on the house would be a geeat option. I had also texted the number to let them know we were arriving but Beth had the only cell and she was at a different location that didn't get good reception. Milo did answer the house phone quickly when we called though. Milo was very friendly and came to our room almost every evening when we got back to see if we needed anything and offer suggestions for what to do and give us fresh oranges off the tree. I traveled with my 2 adult daughters and they were a little creeped out by it, but i think he is just a really talkative, friendly guy who likes to get to know people. If you are wanting a no contact kind of stay this is not the place for you.The neighborhood is really nice but out towards the busy road and overpass is pretty sketchy. So if you want to do any public transit I would take the blue bus, it was very nice and goes right to the beach and you walk through the neighborhood to get there. I am not sure if the hot tub works. You have to have Milo turn it on and when we asked we had a miscommunication about it so we never used it. The beds were comfy and place was clean. We used Uber and the buses to get around and were very pleased with b
