Had an enjoyable stay at Ryan's home with 8 people. The space is definitely comfortable enough for 8 as long as your group is okay sharing bedrooms and can handle 1 bathroom. Besides that, the home has comfortable, firm beds, a fully stocked kitchen, clean bathroom, and window AC units in every room. In terms of the neighborhood, it was quiet for a good night's rest.
I mainly talked to Jim through the messaging part of Airbnb and he was very informative of any questions that I had about the home during our stay. The home itself is located in East LA and Lyfts to Downtown were between $10-$20 depending on the time. I would definitely rebook Ryan's home for future trips with the value that it provides.
