Had a great time staying here!
It’s a huge place at an amazing price. I recommend renting a car, since the touristy areas can be far to get to—but I’d recommend renting a car in LA regardless. This house has a huge driveway, so parking was never a problem for us.
Self check-in was fast and easy, and I had no problems with communicating. I got super prompt replies whenever I had to chat with the host! I have no doubt that if there were any problems, I’d have been able to easily message the host to have it resolved.
Location is as described—walking distance to a bunch of great food places (tacos, churros), and stores (rite aid, supermarket). If you get a chance, try the churros... it’s the best I’ve ever had.
Overall, this was an amazing experience and I’d love to stay here again!
