First, the house is extremely clean. Zaven provides plenty of towels and blankets in the cabinets down the hall with pillows in the last room to the left.
Second, he has a huge pantry filled with food. I do reccomend bringing your own pots and pans as his are not that big.
Third, he does have a small charcoal grill that may seem unsteady, but it cooks well!
Last but not least, the pool is amazing! Clean and warm. we came to it cleaned and it got messy of course. But, the next morning, it was so clean! He has a very good pool setup! He doesn't provide the height of the pool but it starts at about 3ft to 7ft or so.
My favorite was definitely the pool and his master bedroom. Very comfy king size bed. Pool was warm all night. We stayed until 10 or 11 in the pool.
Zaven responds pretty quick. Check in was smooth and check out as well. He doesn't provide check out instructions but, I assumed we were supposed to throw our trash out and put all used towels together, etc..
Notes:
The neighbors do have a big dog that barks but not at all much like other dogs. Was no problem for us.
There also seems to be a tenant on the same house right of it, but it is closed off. Did not affect the stay at all. We didn't park on the right side of the driveway because there were plenty on the street (and we noticed there was a tenant on the premises) there are no street sweeping signs which worried us but, luckily Monday they did not do street sweeping. However trash day is Monday, so don't be surprised if the trash is outside because someone came to take them out. It would be nice to know when street sweeping is also for future guests who does long stays. We all know LA tickets are the best at taking our money lol.
We booked this with 8/10(2 left and did not sleep)
Zaven does charge 35$ per person after 7 which was fine. (Be honest with head count, hosts hate it when there are surprises)
No cameras on premises, but felt safe still. Not that much traffic on the street. Still 2 blocks away from the main street.
Bring pots, pans and rice cooker.
Thanks for reading! Hope you guys enjoy your stay like we did! 😅
