I never saw David or anyone else associated with the rental, so I cannot speak to that.
I did communicate with David via email before arriving and was given both detailed instructions on how to find the property and on what I needed to know about the property. The instructions were sufficient.
I would certainly rent this property again. It is a whimsical jewel in the middle of north Los Angles. It is within minutes of Santa Monica pier, Venice Beach, and Malibu. It is between PCH and most of LA, but amazingly, it is in the country. It is almost like entering a portal and going to a different world.
The room was clean, spacious, and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was also spacious with a large shower with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The property is secluded and peaceful--amazingly so considering the proximity of the city.
I would suggest getting to the property in daylight because even with detailed instructions, the property is a bit hidden. Once you've been there, you'll have no trouble finding it even in the dark--with the aid of the blue lights on the bridge.
