My wife and I and our 10-month old baby stayed here for a full month in March. We had a great stay, the house is perfect for a single family. If you can afford the price, we highly recommend it. Stanley is very friendly and helpful, and he lives next door in case you need him for anything.
BASICS: Nice size master bedroom with attached bathroom (with a great bath), plus a second bathroom with shower. Comfy firm queen bed, decent closet space. Smaller second bedroom with full-size bed. Washer/dryer/dishwasher is great. Kitchen is okay for cooking, though it could use a few more basic tools and appliances. The PARKING SPACE is so great to have, avoiding dealing with street parking is a dream.
LOCATION: Great location, half a block to Abbot Kinney, very safe neighborhood. Easy walk to Gjelina, Salt n Straw, MTN, Intelligentsia, Blue Bottle, Adidas, Erowhon market, etc. But it was still very quiet at night, as it's tucked away from the main street.
YARD: The backyard is INCREDIBLE, like a botanical garden, filled trees and flowers and more variety of cacti than I knew existed. Chairs to sit in and relax in the shade. There are also several table options for outdoor eating/working, including a large space that feels like a local cafe all to yourself.
FOR BABY: The house, for the most part, is baby friendly, with a few sharp corners to watch out for. We had to bring our own pack n play, and high chair. The master bathroom was perfect for bath time (For a 10-month old. Watch out the water gets VERY hot!). Washer and dryer is great to have, obviously. Our son LOVED exploring the backyard but we had to be careful with all the prickly cacti. It's walkable to plenty of parks and things, and there are baby classes and play groups nearby.
