We had high expectations of Aaron's place based on the multitude of 5 star glowing reviews. Unfortunately our experience did not live up to expectations. On the positive side Aaron was a great host who was quick and responsive to our messages and needs. He allowed us to check in very early from an overnight flight which was great. The house had very fast wifi and lots of added extras like bathroom supplies and kitchen items that were useful and appreciated. The garden was lovely and the fairy lights were a nice touch when sitting outside. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was hot. Unfortunately though there was a cockroach problem when we were there which needs attention. The house was in a quiet convenient location for visiting Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier but it is a long way by public transport into Downtown LA and Hollywood. Unfortunately the bike Aaron provided had a flat tire although I'm sure if we'd asked he would have attended to that as he was quick to respond to problems. Although seemingly bright and fresh in the photos, it felt more tired and homespun and less clean in reality.
