Exactly as advertised. Location: In a very quiet and nice neighborhood, lots of places to eat within a walk-able distance. Easy to get around by car (we didn't use public transportation nor uber but I imagine it is as easy).
I was traveling with my two teen daughters and the room was very nice. A very comfortable inflatable mattress was added to fit three guests. The space was tight to walk around but we were out most of the time. It must be shared with people you are very close or you shouldn't mind to sleep with the bed tight close to the other (in case there are more than two guests).
Covered and private parking in LA is wonderful! the car was never warm when we get in.
We didn't get to meet Alex, our schedules never matched but he was wonderful with communication and also receiving a lot of packages from Amazon since we had pre ordered to avoid wasting time in shopping with a limited number of days in our vacations and so many plans. We left a lot of recycling material -boxes and plastic- that we hope it was not an inconvenience to dispose of. We are not from the US and we didn't know what to do with it nor thought about asking in advance!
Also he left a good selection of breakfast items. Granola bars, instant oat meal, coffee, tea, juice, eggs, bread and some other that I don't remember.
Everything in the kitchen that is of exclusive use of guests is properly identified -space in the fridge and a cabinet for dry food and plates-
If you have mobility issues or do not want to take stairs, beware there is a flight of stairs to go from the street to the condo and that the condo is two floors, the room in the second floor. This was certainly not an issue for us but it is included in the description of the place for a reason.
Check in process was easy, Alex sent us instructions prior to our arrival. The battery for the remote for the parking space was not good enough and even though I offered to exchanged he gave us another remote that worked perfectly.
We didn't use the TV, nor the fireplace nor the hair dryer but everything was there.
We did use the kitchen, microwave, fridge, stove, sink, washer and dryer. Everything worked properly. The credentials for wifi access were provided in the check in process, we used it all the time we were at home and it worked without issues.
For sure we endorse the super host qualification and also would stay at Alex' place again
