The house was clean, cutely decorated, and stocked with some coffees and teas which is always a bonus. Fred communicated everything we needed to know before we arrived since he couldn't be there to check us in, which was totally fine with us. There was a book on a table when we arrived that had all the rules and expectations for our stay. We arrived to the house fairly late at night and there was some "sketchy" behavior going on outside a neighbor's house which made me feel a bit uncomfortable, but in the morning I sat outside on the front patio area to read and all the neighbors who walked by were very polite, which cleared by fears of being in a dangerous neighborhood. Overall the stay was quite enjoyable. It was more than spacious enough for our group of 4 and it was a short drive to downtown Long Beach and about an hour drive to most other areas around LA (the traffic is intense and constant, plan accordingly if you are not from the area). I would recommend Fred's bnb for anyone visiting LA!
