We (my adult daughter and I) stayed for over a week in September 2015 and on arrival in LA found the address and keys in the keysafe no problem. It is about 35 mins drive from LAX. Parking outside is unrestricted which was handy. The accomodation was clean and very much as shown in the host's photos. It was very hot weather even for LA and the single aircon unit in the kitchen area worked hard during our stay, but we were comfortable, and the washing machine and tumble dryer were a bonus. There were dishwasher tablets and some washing machine soaps in the cupboard. I put new batteries in the TV cable box remote when they died, and some spares in the drawer. The area felt safe, and there are good supermarkets a short drive away. The property is well modernised and had everything we wanted, including fast wireless internet. We would have taken the trash out but were not sure which day it went or where, so we bagged it. Whilst we didn't meet the host at any time, we didn't need to as we found everything we needed, and knew we could contact her if we needed to, which suited us fine.
I would have no hesitation in staying there again, as an alternative to a hotel stay.
