The place was clean enough, but I could tell it hadn't been cleaned before our stay. The floors had not been mopped or swept, the cabinets had not been wiped down and there was old food on them, there was old fast food in the mini fridge we had to throw out. Our unit shared a wall with another unit and the walls are pretty thin. We could hear the other visitors talking in their room. One night of our stay, The neighbors played loud music until about midnight. Stores and other shopping are approximately a 20 minute drive. There is not much to do or see in the neighborhood nearby. Other sites are about a 30 to 45 minute drive, but LA traffic can make it much longer. This was a great place to stay for the price if you are going to use it to sleep eat and shower. It is also gated which is great. We had no interaction with the hosts other than a text and an email with instructions on how to open the gate and the door.
