Whilst the host Molly seemed very nice, judging by the brief communication we had leading up to our stay, as did the Airbnb itself, judging by the provided pictures, the reality did by far not meet the expectations. One could come to the conclusion, when entering the Airbnb for the first time, that somebody set it up 10-15 years ago with the best intention, but did not really bother to update it over the years or even maintain it properly. This becomes visible by the patching of wholes in the wall by simply putting literal band-aid over it, by the rusty (not the chic kind) outdoor kitchen, decorated with spider webs, the completly outdated kitchen equipment as well as the dust that is gathering everywhere on the decorations (suitcase, baskets, etc.). The location of the Airbnb is what it is, but if you are a light sleeper you have to be aware that an interstate is right next door, which is not uncommon in LA. It also does not help that it was not possible to darken the room properly or that the lawn sprinkler turned on right outside the window at 4.55 am (with the water pipe somehow running through the Airbnb) an running for 45 minutes.
Overall, and I really hate to say this, because the host Molly is probably a really nice person, although I never met her in person, I would not recommend a stay at the Airbnb to friends or family before the above mentioned issues are fixed.
