As a host reviewing another host I think Mariya’s place is great. Everything is accurately described and everything you need is available. And you can’t beat it for the price. In reading other reviews and having been reviewed myself hundreds of times I don’t believe it is fair when guests give a negative review based on location or expectations. You get what you pay for, if you expect first class state of the art facilities then go pay 300$ a night somewhere. This place is truly worth a fantastic deal. You have free parking and laundry. If you don’t like the location that’s not the hosts fault, you can pick any location you want and shoulder the responsibility researching the area first. With that said, Gardena felt like a very safe place to me. Close to a part of LA where there is actually less traffic than most places, quiet and clean as far as cities go. And you are close to everything you could possibly need or want to do. The smart tv is a great feature too so guests from anywhere can entertain themselves on rainy days with any subscriptions they may have. It’s suitable for guests visiting internationally or nearby. Communication was great too. I give 5 stars across the board for the simple fact I couldn’t ask for anything more and no matter where you decided to book, keep your expectations limited to what the booking describes which Mariya does perfectly. Anything less than 5 stars would be a disservice to someone who goes above and beyond what is required as a host. Thank you Mariya I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity
