Fantastic and memorable! I have been living in Mark's house for four months, which is also my longest experience using airbnb. I had the room with the bathroom en suite. It is a great option if you want to have more comfort and privacy. Shared areas are well-maintained by the host. The kitchen is very large and is fully equipped. You can cook/bake/grill anything you want. Mark has a charming garden, full of plants, flowers and even hummingbirds coming to drink from a fountain made of clay by him. The house is placed in a residential area, near to the Expo La Brea station (8 min by walking) which is one of the best/fastest metro lines in LA that communicates Santa Monica with Downtown. So can you imagine to be halfway on both sides? , that's great!
Mark is a good man with a wonderful imagination. He loves to stay around and talk to his guests, but always respecting their privacy and independence. He gives great recommendations of restaurants, museums and places that really worth to visit in LA. He is always very pending of replacing/repairing old equipment and even providing guests of basic supplies. Best hot water and Agave in LA ;)
Everything was great to me during my four months of stay. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel an authentic LA experience.
I wish you the best of luck!
