Overall the stay was good. The pictures are outdated so the home is less cozy but the listing isn’t misleading. The plants and rug are gone, the chairs changed, that sort of thing.
The host was communicative and we were told in advance that the coffee table and outdoor chairs were different. We were also warned multiple times about quiet hours and no parties which was a little funny with my six month old in tow but it must be a common issue for the host.
The beds were comfortable and blankets were provided. The pillows are very flimsy.
The kitchen was very basic - don’t expect to do more than boil water or fry an egg.
The backyard is very nice to have but the pavement is uneven and so not the best for little ones, plus there was some small litter in the mulch beds.
One of the bedrooms had a smokey smell. I suspect the window to the backyard was left open and someone was smoking near it... it diminished as the room aired out.
The house is fine but value wise you’d want to split with more than the two adults we had, otherwise it’s pricey for what you’re getting. But then it would be a little crowded, especially with the small beds.
I loved the location - great park close by and a 15 min. walk to the 4th strip with a bakery, coffee shop and other amenities, and didn’t find it noisy, though there were noisemakers going off but that’s just LA for ya.
