Myself, my husband and our 10 month old daughter stayed in Yousef's home in early November 2017. Yousef was great at communicating quickly, and messaged to ensure that we had checked-in ok and inquire if there was anything further that we required.
Yousef was a great host and made the nursery in his home available for our daughter. I cannot express how much we appreciated this, and how much easier it made our trip experience, especially for our daughter. We were able to use Yousef's home as a base for exploring LA. We went to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Venice Beach, Santa Monica and Malibu. The only issue is the traffic, which meant that the closet destination took about 35 minutes to drive to, but I think that is an issue with LA, not with the location of Yousef's home.
The house is large, the couch is comfy, the tv streaming services and wifi worked perfectly, the kitchen is bright, and the views are wonderful. We were able to sit and have coffee in the backyard every morning.
There is nothing walking distance from the house, you have to drive to any stores, restaurants, bars, etc. Also, the neighborhood is not too nice for just walking around or going for a run. The guest bathroom is a bit tight, and the shower was difficult to use. We did not use the pool.
