This space is uniquely designed in a great area for Los Angeles.
The backyard is great as well as the kitchen and bedroom. The lights in the bathroom didn’t work but I didn’t bother to fix and the front door lock only works with some jiggering 20% of the time so you have to exit through the back. The place does not look quite as new as the photos, though it is a cute space. The upstairs loft is not as pictured at all, it is more of a storage area for old pet bed boxes; appliances, old decorations and left over things. There is a mattress there but it is rather dusty and surrounded by the storage, so I didn't really utilize the loft.
The couch was rather dingy and the upstairs loft was very dusty from lack of use/cleaning I believe. The bedroom and kitchen and bathroom and living room were clean but the bedroom carpet very much a bedroom carpet. The bedding and some of the towels were a little older, but I replaced them for myself and future airbnb users.
Communication is rapid and fast with the host. I will note that the host, does drop in unannounced, sometimes on the porch putting things in storage, or picking fruit from the fruit trees in the front of the property. We had an issue with some repairs, (one that I was responsible and happy to pay for) but some others that didn't belong to me that he asked to be handled and paid for outside of airbnb, that changed in nature once they went through airbnb. I requested to go through airbnb and we've dealt with he process in that fashion, and in the future I would communicate if anything is broken or not working ahead of time instead of just tolerating it. I stayed here during cover while recovering from two surgeries so couldn't be bothered. I had some acrylic paint sparkles in the sink from cleaning brushes that I offered to remove easily with myself or my assistant with orange oil, but note the host will ignore this communication and this and attempt to charge instead.
I've never had an issue with any Airbnbs, and so this was my first experience with navigating some of the logistic, but still grateful for the location and space during covid.
