Josh is a kind and friendly host and a prompt communicator. The unit is in the back of a large house, along with two other units, and a shaded little courtyard with a table and chairs for outdoor relaxing. It feels like a mini-motel with lots of friendly guests (often with pets) coming and going. We were there for 20 days, and got the opportunity to really know the place. The location of the house is fantastic--close to bars, restaurants, cafes, etc. You can walk, scooter, bike, bus, and very easily drive all over LA from this central location.
A few things to note--if you have a car, you will be asked to give your keys to the host so that he can manage the line of cars in the driveway. Very kind of him to manage this for the guests, but this was a surprise when we arrived. Otherwise, you can do your best to find street parking (but there is street cleaning twice a week, so street-park at your own risk). The unit itself is very dark and does not have good air circulation, despite having AC in the living room. The unit overall is very rundown, but does have most things you would need, albeit not in very good shape. I'm sure with a deep-clean, fresh coats of paint, more lights, and a fan in the bedroom, it could be quite nice; but in the meantime, you get what you pay for.
