Mehrdad was a fantastic host. Communication was excellent and he was waiting for us on arrival to show us around the house and point out how everything works, etc (although there is a booklet provided as well with all the info you'll need). He was very accommodating when we had to change our dates at a late stage due to a flight cancellation. The house itself is exceptionally clean, has AC throughout and is very modern and comfortable. It's a short walk to Whole Foods and just up the road from bustling Melrose avenue (yet to my surprise the house itself is on a very quiet and peaceful residential road). Parking was no issue and a permit is provided for parking in the road right outside the house. All in all, a great place to stay and a wonderful host.
