Booked this place to host family visiting LA from out of town. The open layout in the living room, kitchen and dining room area was perfect for hosting and gathering. The backyard space was lovely, as well. The location was great and it was easy to move around the city.
My biggest gripe was cleanliness. The house was thoughtfully decorated, but it was not thoroughly cleaned. The bedding was badly stained in several of the rooms, the carpets and curtains were stained throughout, the bathroom floor tiles had a black and white design and the white looked dingy, there were rusty pots in the kitchen. My allergies also flared up while there, so I also assume there was a lot of dust.
Ironically, we could not check in at the time the host said we could because we got there and the “cleaners” were there running behind. I’m not sure what, if anything, they did while there. We had to leave for an hour or so and come back to check in. With 12 people, that was a bit of a hassle.
The host was extremely apologetic for the state of the house, but no apology could really fix that. If they could get that part together, this place would be 5 stars.
