The location was in a nice and safe area with few mins walk to a local market. Its close to Santa Monica on transit. Transit was about 25mins walk away. Robert gave us great local recommendations and he was very accommodating. Roberts place is more suited to a short stay, 1 or 2 nights in our opinion.
Pros: Safe area, nice local markets and restaurants. Close to Santa Monica on transit.
Cons: Overall cleanliness of the house was below standard. (Dust all over the room, ceiling fan and ceiling, bed sheets did not seem very clean too). Refrigerator for airbnb guests was really smelly and dirty. (Could definitely do with a clean). Bad smell in the room when the A/C unit was on. Also, he does not have a washer for clothes eventhough it's stated on his listing which was really disappointing as we are backpacking and it was one of the reasons we booked the room. The closest laundromat was 20 mins walk.
Overall, it was an OK stay, but the cleanliness was a bit disappointing. Robert was a nice guy and he had 2 lovely dogs!
