Stayed here with 3 other family members/friends. The place is nice on first glance, but there are a few things we wish we had known before booking. The outlets in the master bedroom as well as the first bedroom on the right do not work. Because of this, there is only a TV in one of the bedrooms. The battery pack in the lock on the front door also had to be removed and replaced every time we wanted to leave the house. There is also no first aid kit as mentioned in the description. The house could use some TLC overall (duct tape on a bathroom door, scratched paint, etc.), but the kitchen was beautiful.
The outdoor area was nice, but we noticed there was no chlorine in the pool and the area was generally not landscaped.
The location of the house (Gardena) is in a quiet neighborhood, but is very far from most LA attractions. We averaged an hour each way with our sightseeing in Santa Monica, Malibu, and West Hollywood.
Anna’s rules are extremely strict, and though they weren’t a big problem for us, this might not be ideal for folks looking for a more social experience in LA. If you’re looking for a quiet stay in sunny SoCal, this place is perfect for accessing the beach cities (Manhattan, Redondo, Hermosa) as well as the airport.
Overall, Anna’s place served its purpose and enjoyed our stay here. She was very responsive and welcoming. Thank you, Anna!
