Host Constantine's apartment was roomy, clean, comfortable and stocked with necessities. I felt it was in good taste and uncluttered. It did get a bit warm at the end of the day, when the high temperatures were averaging in the mid-80s while we were there. Air flow through the apartment from 9 pm to about 10:15 pm was adequate to get it comfortable again. There was an A/C in the bedroom, which provided cool comfort but was a little noisy, as they tend to be.
Constantine communicated well, greeted us, and showed us how everything works. He thoughtfully checked in by email to make sure our needs were met. He has a shoes-off policy which keeps things cleaner and which I like.
My relatives live in and near the Palms neighborhood, so that was a personal plus. The light rail L.A. Metro Expo Line has a station that's not too far away, and Venice beach is not very far away by car. Culver City's amenities are also within easy reach.
There is a private parking space, but it is a bit narrow and using it requires proper concentration.
