Adrian was wonderful.
He said he's always available by phone or text for even the smallest things and he followed through every time. This meant all the little ideas - like, can I use these plates/towels? /where is the key for the pool?/ can i use some of your cooking oil till I get my own? etc, All of it was sorted straight away. So there were no doubts or inadvertently offending the host - which I've experienced in other places - so I really relaxed and enjoyed my stay.
The location suited me because I was visiting people in Inglewood. But there were great unexpected bonuses, like a beautiful pool, aircon, and double glazed windows (no noise & a great nights sleep), oh yeah, and comfy bed. Big plus.
Transport is something to think about when you visit LA. It is not a public transport town. I got around on a bicycle for local trips and a friend's car for the longer ones, and that worked really well. I biked down to the beach as often as I could.
Enjoy LA.
