The house is in a nice, safe neighborhood and close to many of the attractions in LA. The dogs that live in the yard were barky, but friendly after they ran up to you. The inside of the house is unique and has some interesting amenities.
The issues:
1. No key was provided for the lower lock and no note indicating we should not lock the door. We were locked out of the house for an hour and after talking with the host had to climb in through a very small bathroom window
2. The house was not clean - there were dirty dishes in the sink and kitchen when we arrived, the cat litter box was full, there was cat food all over the kitchen floor, and the refrigerator was filled with older food and watermelon that look like it was months old
3. There was poop on the sidewalk in front of the house that we stepped in as there were no lights in the front
4. The people who live in the back, adjoining house were yelling very loudly at 2:00 AM and it woke us and kept us up
5. It was very cold at night and we used all of the blankets in the house to keep warm in bed. The fireplace only heated the living room
6. No TV changer was provided for the TV in the front room
7. No login credentials for the WiFi were provided
8. There was no on-premise parking, only street parking
9. There are cats living in the home and there were no rules or suggestions provided for the cats. Both nights the cats were scratching at our bedroom doors trying to get out in the middle of the night and crying. We learned to not shut the bedroom doors.
