The Airbnb was extremely well located, in a great locality, 10 min walk to Venice Beach with plenty of cool bars and restaurants close by. The house was also very clean and well furnished. The communications provided to us were very clear, and everything was setup and ready to go when we got there.
Ideally, this should've been a 5 star rating, however there were 2 incidents that were extremely concerning.
1. We were woken up by the neighbor on the 2nd day, asking us if there was a gas leak. We quickly checked, and found that the gas valve for the firepit in the backyard / patio was left open. We closed it and the neighbor was kind enough to call the gas company to make sure there were no leaks. I called the company to report this incident, to keep them aware of the gas company paying a visit. There was absolutely no follow up call asking us if everything was okay, or if it was oversight and the valve was left open, or if there was truly a leak etc... All we received was 2 random emails, asking me to confirm if I had checked in (automation issues I assume) . The person I spoke to on the phone asked me to confirm if I could still "smell" once I got back to the Airbnb. Really?
2. There was patio furniture (of extremely poor quality). One of the chairs broke while my friend was sitting on it, but luckily, we were able to catch him before he hit his head on the floor.
I would still recommend this Airbnb, just make sure you folks sniff around the place, and not use the backyard / patio furniture.
