Maiana's place was nice, and the location and price we're good! I didn't have any problems with this cute little apartment, but it was probably not one of my favorite air bnbs over the years.
Pros: The space was super stylish and cute. The shower and bathroom amenities were amazing! It was nice to have shampoo, soaps, and a hair dryer available. The entire apartment was very clean, tidy, and we'll designed. The Outdoor space is awesome!
the bed was firm, but very comfortable.
Neutral: As for location, it was great to take a quick Uber anywhere, and walkable to the park and a few restaurants... but things are pretty spaced out, and there's not a huge variety without walking a ways. I suppose this is maybe more commentary on LA than this apartment. it's just spaced out and some of the streets near the apartment we're not recommended to be walking at night. But, who knows. There were NO snacks or foods provided -- Don't plan to arrive with an empty stomach after restaurants close, or you'll be sleeping hungry. There was tea and coffee, which was nice.
Negative: Ariving late in the night with a giant suitcase was hard. There is a long dirt path with randomly placed steps to the apartment - this would be OK, but it was not lit at all, I couldn't see where I was going, and I had no idea where the gates or doors were (luckily, the arrival directions we're very accurate). The walls, doors, and windows are paper thin, and you will hear EVERYTHING that happens outside: planes, cars, sirens, people, etc. as well as, any movement from the home upstairs. Even though the apartment is nicely secluded feeling due to the beautiful landscaping, it was still very loud. The only other negative, was that the entrance door didn't feel very secure... There was a lock, but not a deadbolt, and it was really just a thin piece if glass/wood frame. Because the apartment is set back from the street, within a gated area, I wasn't too worried about it, but it definitely felt a little worrying. So, if you're someone who needs to feel securely locked in at night, might be worth noting.
