This was just about as smooth as it gets..... Jodyne was very responsive right from the start. There were clear instructions on how to access the home, as well as a concise list of the need-to-know basics (in addition to some good restaurant recommendations). The home was exactly as listed, very clean, remarkably cozy and in probably the best location you can ever ask for in Los Angeles (I grew up probably a mile from Jodyne's house, so I think I know LA pretty well). I know everyone reads these reviews to look for complaints... but I just don't have anything substantial to complain about. It was ridiculously cold during the few days that we were in town, but the home had a great heating system (although it did take a little while to figure out what doors to leave open so that certain rooms didn't get too warm while others were still a little chilly). I guess parking can be an issue if you always travel with a serious posse (there's room for 2 cars in the driveway, but street parking is completely off limits)... luckily it was just our one car. Summary: Nice clean and cozy place, amazing location!
