I stayed at Maryam and Esmail's unit President's weekend which also coincided with my birthday weekend. Overall, the stay was decent for the location and the condo itself (which was really nice). For context, I previously lived in L.A. for 7.5 years and this was my first trip back.
Pros:
-Condo is really nice on the inside and feels very much like home
-Proximity to Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, etc. Lots of nearby food options, grocery, etc.
-Unit was clean
-The high ceilings, the sun beaming into your room in the morning, what is not to love?
-Plenty of street parking
Cons:
-Noise: disregard if you sleep like a rock. But I drove 7 hours from NorCal and Friday night and tried to take a nap and was not happening from the street noise. During night time this is not an issue. Host's dog woke me up after midnight the first night and the second night approximately same time (mentioned it to them and they apologized). Third night sleeping was fine. Also, bit of maintenance that was going on in the front of the unit but again, host was polite and said they thought I was out.
-Related to point number 1 above, the unit shares a wall and the host is next door so not a huge deal but if you wanted absolute privacy just a disclosure.
Overall again, decent stay for the value.
