This place is terrific! The host, Ginger, is extraordinarily helpful and available, even going as far as picking us up at the nearby train station!

The site is half of a house, including two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom. It’s an older style, but fully functional. There were many useful items onsite, including power bars, blankets, towels, shampoos & soaps, etc. The kitchen was stocked with quite a bit of food items, although you will probably need to hit the supermarket, which is a 5m walk north.

The backyard is full of wonderful foliage, including grapefruit and orange trees with actual fruits on them! Ginger explained to us many of the unusual trees found in the yard, including the largest rosemary bush I’ve ever seen.

There are several restaurants nearby, but if you want something fancier, you need only stroll across the freeway (15m walk) to find dozens of interesting restaurants and shops.

Travel tip: easiest way to get to this location from LAX is to take the Flyaway bus ($8) to Union Station, then the Gold line train ($1.75) to Lake Station. It takes slightly more than an hour and no traffic worries. Reverse to get back to LAX.

The house is definitely as shown in the listing, and Ginger is even more friendlier than described. Would definitely stay again.
