Jerry and Kelly were very loving and attentive hosts. They seem to be an older couple that genuinely enjoy sharing their beautiful home with others. I would say the stay was near perfect but there were some things that can be done better.
Hosts are definitely a 10/10 very lovable people. The home however could use some work. It's an older home so if you are not a fan of vintage/older style homes then this may not suit your fancy. It lacks a lot of features and conveniences that newer, more up to date homes have.
The house sits perched atop a beautiful view, it's extremely large and spacious with a great floor plan/layout. However, if planning on booking there are somethings you should be aware of.
- Cleanliness. The home looks like it is cleaned but not very well maintained. There are areas that look as if they are in need of desperate updating and maintenance. The cleanliness may not be up to your standards if you're used to ultra modern AIRBNB's. You will find signs of wear and host's personal belongings in the space. If this bothers you, then it's not for you. A major concern were the old dirty mattresses we found laying around in the master closet as well as other old dirty and out of service things around the home.
- Garage. The garage isn't really usable as its cluttered with many personal things.
- Bugs. For some reason there seemed to be an abundance of spiders throughout the home, especially the master bathroom. Again, not really a bother to us since we're from NYC and used to seeing it all - but its there and if it bothers you, then you should stay away.
- Pool. The pool area isn't really the best maintained and there are missing tiles and etc throughout.
Probably our most major issue overall was most definitely the internet speed. If you need to work from home or the BNB then this place is absolutely not an option for you. The internet is extremely unusable, slow and unstable. Restarting and resetting did not help. It seems as if they got the cheapest and most basic plan. The same is true for the cable in the master bedroom, literally it consists of only asian channels, not an issue for us since we don't watch TV but if may be a factor for others.
Overall I would definitely stay again. I feel that with the proper love, attention and updates that this hoe could easily be one of the best listings in the LAX area on AirBNB. It's full of potential.
