This location is PERFECT. You can walk to every kind of food imaginable and there's a farmers market every Tuesday afternoon down the street. The closest metro stop is walkable, and the 405 and 10 are nearby if you have a car. Having my own parking spot was great too. I was skeptical about the couch-bed but it turned out to be fine. The balcony with its lounge chairs is great, too!
However, by booking this place, you are consenting to a not optional cleaning service (which somehow came out to a $400 cleaning fee for my 5-week stay). The first cleaning was one week after I moved in and the second was one week before I moved out, which was not beneficial to me and didn't make much sense IMO. I work nights so finding a time to do this when I wasn't at home sleeping proved to be difficult, but those were the weeks the hosts wanted. Also, there are two lock boxes, one on the outside gate and one on inside door and a total of 6 keys plus a garage door opener. The hosts make you in charge of ensuring all the keys are in the correct place after you check in and before cleanings so that the vendors can get in. I received texts asking if I put the keys in the right place because the "vendors were having trouble getting in". To me that shouldn't be the guests' job. I also got locked out when I left town for a weekend because it was time for the 2nd cleaning while I was gone and I failed to put the keys in the correct place. Luckily the hosts' handyman was able to let me in when I returned. They also wanted to swap out the sliding glass door while I was there, but fortunately decided to wait until I vacated to do that (again, I sleep in the daytime). Overall, there were way too many texts from the hosts which, for me, defeats the purpose of choosing "entire place" to rent out a private apartment, and it was something I've never had to deal with as a guest. If this doesn't bother you, or if you're just staying for a short time, then this spot will be great for you!
