Honestly from the start it was a bit of a mess. There had been a miscommunication with the cleaning crew where they did not get the house ready until after 10pm on the day of check in. Once they finally left the house and I was able to check in I was welcomed by the house being 84 inside. Turns out the AC was broken and would remain broken throughout the trip with no offer of a solution. Additionally the level of cleanliness was very poor, there were dirty towels throughout the house and the hot tub had grass in it (I assume from the landscapers). It was also my first time staying in a family's actual living home on Airbnb, which was an interesting experience. There were pictures of the family all over the house, even the kids' pictures above the bed (which is a bit strange to look at). You would think these would be swapped out when it's used as an Airbnb, definitely unexpected.
Overall the house is beautiful and in a great neighborhood situated on top of a hill. It felt safe and was easily accessible to everything you need. However for the super high price, sh*t show of a check in process, and overall weirdness I would've much rather just got a place in Venice or Santa Monica. Especially at that price point.
