Howard is an amazing host! I didn't get the pleasure of meeting him, but the house was exactly as described and he was always within easy communication to answer all of my crazy questions. Super smooth transaction from the booking to getting access to the house. Always love that we could come and go as we please without going through crazy loops of having to grab a key, paperwork, etc. If only all Air BNB experiences were like this one! I had my family with me and with my hard to please Mom who was skeptical of the experience (wanted to stay in a hotel) she left feeling really happy about our stay at Howard's. He took extra care for all the details with snacks, coffee, and water and even toiletries! Couldn't have asked for a better stay.. just wish we could have stayed longer.. next time I will be in LA, this will be my first choice! Thank you!
