The Positive- there was a lock box on porch gate. Host was friendly with a nice smile. House was clean and uncluttered; simple artwork. Also, the neighborhood is clean and quiet. Beautiful mountain view and driveway parking. Home's just a 30 min from LAX.
Downside:
Comfortability- The room and house is EXTREMELY cold. Heater in room wasnt working had to switch with kitchen heater which always made the room way to hot or cold and lit up every 5 seconds with sound which made it difficult to sleep. Room is nice but needs a mirror so that you do not have to keep using the 1 bathroom mirror which is shared with all other rooms.
Locating the House- G-maps tells you prematurely that you've arrived at the house. Be sure to turn onto Palm Avenue.
Check In- was challenging since there was no indication of which room I was actually assigned. I found my self knocking on room doors at 1am due to a late flight and the host was understandably sleep. The rooms should have names for clarity.
