Amir is a good host - only had to communicate a couple times but got back to me within minutes. Apartment was as shown/listed. Good detailed professional check in instructions.
Convenient location quick to the 405/UCLA/Brentwood, and a bit further to Santa Monica/Sherman Oaks but very doable. The actual unit is in a weird spot itself but it's an upscale area that always felt safe. The unit is indeed very close to the freeway and while you can hear it from the doorway, when you're actually inside the unit on the coach or bed you really can't hear anything (especially if the A/C unit is on) and even quieter at night so really barely noticed it at all.
Most of what you need is there for you - plates and silverware, full-sized fridge, some cleaning supplies. If you're travelling with more than one person or staying for more than 2 weeks you might want to bring your own toiletries/towels.
Will say I thought that the furniture/walls were a bit beat up and the unit could've been cleaned a bit better (seemed a bit dusty at first and could've used a sweep/vacuum beforehand) - that said it was COVID times and the unit didn't seem like it was always in use so you might have it more recently cleaned when you arrive. It's not like anything was grimy or anything and the bathroom was spotless.
At the end of the day I thought it was very good value for my stay (I needed a unit for 2 weeks in the area) and just need to understand you're not necessarily going to get hotel-level cleanliness or looks for the great price and a good professional host.
