First impression when we first arrived, the area had a really bad smell it smelled like a dumpster maybe even worst, and the back of the home had a totally different smell which was a bold animal urine smell we didnt even sit in the back because of it. However these two smells mixing were very nauseating for me and my guest. The location was a bit sketchy, the neighborhood was hispanic mostly, which i didnt have a problem with but it didnt feel homey. The location had a supermarket near by and a few things but i still felt we wasnt in the right area. I probabaly wouldnt stay again to be honest, because of this location and it is a bit far from where everything was. And uber/lyft can be a tad pricey ranging from 17-45 bucks especially going toward santa monica and the airport can be the highest. The homes around this home were mixed with nice houses, unkept homes and some where just unacceptable. so we kinda felt like we were in a hood area. The home on the opposite side of the listing is abandon and boarded up with graffiti tags and looks like a trap house which i nor my guest were too fund of. It was kinda a eyesore the whole trip. The first night also we heard shots being fired off from a distance maybe 3 streets down which made us a bit uncomfortable.
However the home is very nice inside, very spacious, looks better than the outside as well. Everything worked and was fine on the inside. It does have a old home smell to it but its adjustable. But the smell outside thats something else! I wouldnt reccomend for a family maybe for travelers or young ppl just visiting for a few days. However my stay was fine its passable by a landslide because we didnt have any trouble but the location and smell is what did it for me overall. There are also cameras around the home. Theres a lemon and lime tree infront of the property as well. a sweet lady next door offered to let us pick lemons if we wanted from her side.
