I completed a two week stay in October and it was so relaxing and luxurious. It was certainly true to the listing; and Trevor was such a great host. I got the privacy I wanted, but knew Trevor was around if I needed anything.
I didn’t have a car so relied on Ubers to get around. Ubers were about a 15 minute wait so just be prepared for that. The location is perfect - Pitfire at the end of the street was delicious, and Ekkamai Thai was great when I wanted to get my boba tea. Also, put Sakura on S Centinela on your list (and get there early).
If you’re into walking, the grocery store was nearby as well (both a regular and organic supermarket). I heard LA water isn’t the best so I brought a water filter so I wasn’t spending money on water bottles.
The buses were quite efficient - for $1 each ride, the CCBus took me right to Venice Beach and all the sites. I actually walked back from the beach (about a 40 minute walk) which was great. LA was supposedly colder than usual but I ended up laying out on the beach on days where it was 65 - nice and toasty under the sun.
I felt safe at night - granted the streets are really dark, but otherwise everything was within arms reach.
Other tidbits: floor is concrete so have socks or slippers cause it does get cold (bring long pajama pants too); no issues with WiFi - worked great on my laptop; it’s very quiet so you don’t have to worry about noise at all; didn’t use all kitchen amenities but plenty there; very close to the airport; and checking in and out was a breeze.
A+++
