This is an amazing place to stay if you have kids (plenty of sleeping space + bathrooms!), although if you have really young ones you'll need to bring your own high chair, pack n play or travel crib, and safety gates for the two sets of stairs in the home. We loved the kitchen and cooked several meals there, and also took advantage of the great restaurants nearby on Abbot Kinney and Rose for takeout. The house itself was clean, super well-appointed, and felt very peaceful and safe - neighbors nearby were quiet and nice. The location is fantastic, just a few blocks from the beach (about a 10 minute walk) and street parking is plentiful, which is a rarity on the west side of LA. Although the host himself was currently abroad, he has two local contacts who answered my questions via text message and phone very promptly, so communication was fantastic. There was initially a small mixup with the cleaners' schedules, so when we showed up after a long drive with two cranky kids, the place wasn't cleaned yet after the prior guests had checked out. The host was super responsive in rectifying the situation, and the next day the cleaners did come and got everything in order. This wasn't a detraction at all from the great experience that we had staying at the house, and extra kudos to the host for staying in communication with us and ensuring that all was made right. I would absolutely stay here again when visiting LA!
