The property is perfectly located, next to the Ballona bike path, very close to Marina del Rey beaches, and Playa del Rey, as well as Venice/Abott Kinney area. The house is decent, size wise it is good, there is a small garden/patio outside which much be pleasant in summer, etc...So good, but not great, it is actually a bit dark.
However, the issue is that the house is insufficiently maintained:
- it was very dirty when we got it (animal hair, dusty, showers really disgusting)
- we had 2 big toilet overflow events in 6 days requiring a proper plumber intervention
- the advertised dryer and washer were there but in the garage which is ... forbidden to guests. So that was an issue.
We informed the host (not the owner) on every issue on tome, and while he did intervene swiftly swiftly each time, he did not seem to think than having 2 big plumbing issues in 6 days was an issue, nor to think that the dirtiness of the house was unusual, which was, at least by our airnbnb standards.
Cameron dit refund us for the cleaning (but the lack of cleanliness was worth to us more than what we got back) and for the rest, we did have to ask airbnb to intervene, and we eventually got a significant chunk of our money back.
So, i hope that following that, the property will be better maintained before being put back on the market: if that is the case, that is a nice house.
