The location was great: the neighborhood was beautiful, and the house was close to the locations in LA we wanted to visit. However, the house wasn't the best for our purposes as we were traveling with our children. The upstairs renters were noisy (e.g. we could hear them walking, showering, opening doors, etc.), and it was uncomfortable having shared backyard space with strangers. Blinds or curtains are needed in the living room and main bathroom. The description and pictures of the house were updated some time after we booked, and only then did it become clear that there was some shared outdoor space and a shared entryway. Although the host sent some more information clarifying how the outdoor space was divided, it still wasn't clear until we were actually standing in the space looking at it. I would suggest adding a photo/drawing delimiting the space for future renters. While these were drawbacks for our situation, the indoor space was nice and the location was great.
