The description of this place is not accurate. There is nothing "lux" about it. It is not a guest house; the owners have turned half their house into a series of 3 small apartments, all of which share an entry gate and paved path on the left side of the property. While we were there, the other two units were occupied every day, with as many as 3 people in a unit; at one time there were 6 other people staying in the other two units. The noise level was loud, and there was a lot of cigarette smoking happening on the paved path, with the smoke wafting into our unit. At 11pm one night, the fellow in the neighboring unit was playing music very loudly, and I had to get out of bed to knock on his door and ask him to turn it down. The walls are thin. The description reads "lux" and that you will have "everything you need". This led my dad and I to think it would be a nice place to spend a couple weeks at the beach in LA. We absolutely regretted booking this place. The advertisement lists washer and dryer access. That is not accurate. In fact, when you arrive, you find an info book that lists the laundromats in the area, and the owners of the home offer to let you use their washer and dryer only from 5-8pm on Tuesday or Thursday. We intentionally packed light expecting to have a washer and dryer on demand. Instead, we had to wait several days to be allowed to use the washer, and then we found that the particular washer and dryer setup the owners have takes 3 hours for a single load of laundry, and afterward, we were quickly shoo'd out of their house by the housekeeper. We had to make do with dirty clothes and dirty linens for half of our stay. This was made worse by the fact that we were provided only 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel, and 1 washcloth. The bathroom sink isn't installed properly and attaches to the wall at a slant, so that water drips all over the floor. We had to leave one of our allotted towels on the floor to soak up this permanent mess. That meant we had 1 bath towel to share between the two of us. Not lux. In addition, the couch that my dad had to sleep on was FILTHY. I am not a picky person, and neither is my father. My dad has slept in his truck and then a well pump house while he worked to build a cabin in the woods. He makes do. But this couch was undeniably covered in yellow, watery stains, and was browned with unwashed dirt. I couldn't believe it when we were making his bed and I was looking at the cushions. There was no way to wash them, and I felt really bad for my dad and embarrassed that I had booked these accommodations for him. It was a really uncool situation because I wanted it to be a fun trip for him, and then he ended up having to sleep on a really gross couch, in a hot sweaty apartment (no A/C, despite what is advertised) for more than a week. The reality is, you do not have washer and dryer access, though the owners advertise it, and you will badly need washer and dryer access. In addition, A/C is advertised, but there is no A/C. What you have are two air purifiers - one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Both have some kind of impact, but neither one has the power to put a dent in the sweltering Los Angeles heat. It was uncomfortably hot during the day while we stayed there, and opening the window ended up doing more than using the air purifiers. But the window let in the cigarette smoke of the other guests who were smoking outside their units. I was smelling cigarettes almost every day we were there. In addition, the advertisement listed "pots and pans" and "everything you need", and I took that to suggest that there was a kitchen. There is not. There is a closet in the living room, inside of which is a fridge, on top of which is a microwave, and there is a shelf with some spices, an air fryer, and a hot plate. There is no sink - the only sink is through the bedroom in the bathroom; it is a shallow sink, but that is where you will need to wash dishes, and because it is slanted, it drips water all over the floor from the provided dish drainer. There is no kitchen garbage - there is only a tiny office trash can in the living room. And there is no counter space. There is only a dining table, which we ended up having to use as our cooking/prep space, which left no room for eating. The living room - where the couch is (where the 2nd guest sleeps) became a crowded, sweltering, uncomfortable space as a result of the lack of kitchen/prep space. In addition, though the advertisement lists "pots and pans" and "everything you need" - there literally was not a single pot or pan provided to use with the hot plate when we arrived. There was not a single knife to cut with, not a single spoon to stir with, not a single spoon to eat with, no spatula, not a single fork to eat with, no chopping board, no bowls, no tea pot, no dish soap, no kitchen towels... I don't know why the owners say there is everything you need when there was clearly barely any effort to stock the kitchen supplies. The only provided items were: 4 plates, a couple cups, around 10 plastic knives, and I think a single plastic fork. We ended up asking the owners for some things after we arrived, but...
