Don't waste your time or money staying here. Although location is fantastic, only 4 blocks away from Abbott Kinney, and manager is very responsive, there is a behind the scenes lack of organization that will affect your stay, as well as the house is old and many things don't work. It's obviously a rental that feels abandoned and not cared for other than the minimum to make money off of it. We have stayed at over 10 Air Bnb's and this was by far the worst one in terms of things not working and us having to constantly contact the manager to find out how things work or ask about things. This doesn't have the nurturing care of an owner that takes care of a unit but a "mass manager - take your money - with as little value" type of feel. I feel bad to write this review because manager did the best she could with the limited resources she had. There were many things that really bothered us while on vacation and we are not high maintenance type of people. The heater is TERRIBLE and it was very cold at night. Even though the heater has a temperature regulator, it does not work. It took so much wasted time trying to figure out and the manager didn't really know how to guide us into making it work. until we finally figured it out. You have to turn it all the way to over 100 and have it click then it will turn on and will heat up the house to the point of making you sweat but not warm up the rooms, only the living room. We asked her multiple times she kept on telling us to regulate the temperature that it would work, well no. You have to turn it all the way down to the 60's to turn it off. And then the house freezes. We kept trying to regulate the temperature, finally after multiple texts and wasted time she tells us it's either all in or all out so there is no regulating any temperature. Why didn't they have a manual teaching people how to use this messed up metered heater? Same thing with wifi. We are business people and are going there to work and some R & R. Completely wasted time on multiple things. They post a wifi on the wall that doesn't work. When texted back and forth she still didn't know which wifi it was and gave us "multiple ones" to keep trying and different versions until we figured it out. The tub is super old and has cracks and the hot water doesn't last long, definitely not long enough to take a bath. The gate outside doesn't work too well, is very old and there are tricks to opening it and locking it, which we had to figure out after a few days of coming in and out.
What we loved about the unit was that it was a good size, had a nice semi-private courtyard and we were able to book a same day booking, since our other Air bnb fell through. There are also two bathrooms which is nice. What we loved about it is it was stocked with enough towels, toilet paper, soap and all the basic things we needed, even laundry detergent which was nice. There are enough blankets but they are the very cheap non-cotton type that make you sweat regardless what temperature it's at. We also loved how responsive the manager was and answered all our texts and calls however she should not have to work that hard, that house is just not set up correctly and there are no manuals helping people figure things out.
You will get the basics and if you are okay with that and having to play "let's figure how things work" then you will be fine. We will personally not go back to this place. I wouldn't waste this kind of money on this unit.
