We had been planning our trip to Anaheim for a year. For three families, this was a much cheaper option than finding accommodations on site at Disneyland! In all we had ten people (four children and six adults) comfortably stay at Judy's home for a week. It was a great fit!
The house was exceptionally clean and had plenty of room. The back deck was nice for an evening dinner or early breakfast. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and close to Disneyland/California Adventure. Judy was always prompt and helpful with her answers to questions. Judy had a in person walk through with us when we arrived and we felt welcomed and cared for. She was also available during our stay via call/text if we needed her.
Previous tenants left behind a few items, keurig cups, toilet paper, paper towels, non-perishable snacks, etc. However the refrigerator and freezer were spotless and completely empty when we came. The neighbors are friendly. Overall the vacation was a success!!
Things found helpful when we got there:
1. The "free parking" is only an amount refunded to you, not free parking vouchers.
2. The bunkbed room is within the living room and is separated by a privacy curtain. If you like to watch TV after the kids have gone to bed, you still can watch TV in the kitchen.
3. The bedroom with the two full size beds are actually futons.
4. There is only closet space to put your clothing, no dressers, and not enough hangers so some guests will be living out of suitcases.
5. There are a few cleaning items, a broom, dust mop, dish rag, dish soap and dishwasher tablets, but that was it. Suggestion: please provide a plunger and disinfecting wipes for the household.
6. One of the umbrellas on the back deck is a beach umbrella!
7. The master bedroom must have been just re-finished because one of the lamps still had the tag on it and the other had no light bulb.
8. The pots and pans need to be replaced. They had a lot of wear and tear on them and some were starting to fall apart. We still used them.
9. The cooking utensils need to be replaced and/or inventoried. We couldn't find a spatula and ended up using tongs.
10. The garage was converted into a bedroom which is used with 11+ guests. It's really nice.
11. A contractor is hired to take out the trash to the curb on trash day.
12. The Jacuzzi is heavenly after a long day.
13. Use Yelp to help you find local restaurants.
14. Use WAZE to help you find your way around town.
Thanks Judy we will be back!
