Here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
- Nice quiet neighborhood (although a squirrel woke us up every morning around 6:30am scratching the roof)
- beautiful view
Cons:
- Downstairs bedroom smelled like a combination of smoke and Febreze. We had to borrow a blow up mattress and put our kids in the room upstairs. When I emailed Bob about this, he didn't really give an adequate response.
- The house is not very well maintained and didn't feel clean.
- No filtered water, only water from the tap.
- No tissues
- Pots were dirty
- downstairs bathroom sink clogged
It was nice to sleep in a house in LA without hearing traffic noise, and if Bob took care of this place and made it more pleasant for guests he'd probably be able to charge more.
