I stayed in the back house from March 3 to April 3, 2021. It's great because there are no shared spaces with other guests if you're concerned about sharing space during the covid situation. The house was super clean. Polen is extremely responsive to questions and requests. For instance, the dryer stopped working on the weekend and it was repaired promptly on Monday morning. The location on 4th street is great . I could walk to a few restaurants and coffee shops. It's also a walkable distance to Broadway and 2nd street and the beach where there are stores and restaurants also. It's a quick drive to Rec Park golf course and also LA Fitness which is now open. The area is safe and the residential area it is next to is mostly beautiful single family homes which is very pleasant for going for a walk. I highly recommend this property and the great host.
