Overall, we had a great month-long stay at this house and really appreciated Pujen's willingness to resolve any concerns we had.
The Pros:
-This house is very spacious and in a great location -- about a 10 minute walk to the beach, a grocery store at the end of the block, and walking distance to many good restaurants.
-The backyard -- complete with an expansive deck, grill, and hot tub -- was our favorite part of the house and really allowed us to enjoy the SoCal weather.
-Lastly, the host -- Pujen-- was very friendly and responsive to any questions or concerns.
Areas for improvement:
-This house did not have nearly enough lighting, and many of the light fixtures (few that there were) did not work or burned out shortly after our arrival.
-The host does not leave a binder/guide to explain the answer the standard wifi/garbage/amenities/local recommendation questions that most guests have. This was the first airbnb I had stayed at that did not leave some sort of pamphlet or guide -- meaning that we had to text the host pretty frequently.
-The house temperature is not well regulated -- it was either very hot, or very cold (lack of insulation, I'm guessing..?). There was only one air conditioning unit for the whole house, and it didn't work very well.
