Read ALL the instructions!!!!
I had a family reunion in Alta Dena so the location of the cottage was perfect, near family and the park where we had the reunion. I came at night and the street is very dark so make sure you are familiar with the area. The communication with the owner was great until after I checked out. See advice below: ADVICE: Although this is a dog friendly rental, please read ALL the instructions or you will be charged extra if your dog gets hair on the furniture, poops or pees in an area not designated for it, plus other things. Cleaning up after your dog is not something this owner wants to do and will charge extra for it!! Again be sure to read all the instructions!!! No the cost for maintaining all of that is NOT included in the dog fee!!!

About the host

Hosted by herbie

Host profile image
Our motto is simple. We are world travelers who have taken all of our experience, from staying at expensive hotels to the simplest hostile in South Africa, and now give it back to you. We do our best to put ourselves in your shoes as a traveler, who may often be scared or nervous traveling to a strange place and space not knowing what to expect, and in the highest consideration of all these factors we plan for your arrival as if we were you. What would I want? What would I expect? Then we do our best to exceed those expectations just for you and your family. Often our very hard work and preparation goes unnoticed but we hope you find our extra efforts in cleanliness and detail more rewarding than a 5 star hotel with an experience of being at a home away from home.
