I've used Airbnb 10+ times, and Candis is absolutely the most welcoming, warmest, and kindest host I've ever experienced. She took care of us so much, very communicative, and really made us feel like family members of her own, which made our stay absolutely an unique experience.
Everything was as described, plus the extra cleanness I shouldn't forget to comment. Her backyard is also fantastic and would have been an additional plus only if we had some time to spend there (too busy visiting LA tourist places). She let us use her living room (TV+DVD+sofa) freely, and all other amenities including wash machine, dryers, coffee machine, and even small bathroom stuff.
And her two dogs, Bambi and Precious, were super friendly which was a BIG plus for my kids. My kids definitely want to stay at Candis again.
Besides the hospitality, some facts about the accommodation;
- Parking is super easy, just right outside of her house
- The only bathroom is shared, but Candis made it absolutely sure that we can use it anytime at our preference (and kept it super clean)
- A big bed in the private room was more than enough for four of us (two adults+two kids) to sleep in comfortably, though Candis took the extra care of us by setting up an airbed in the living room area
- Perfect place to visit Hollywood and LA; 10-15mins drive to Universal Studios and other parts of Hollywood
- The only undermining factor is that the house is located alongside a big road, and occasional noise from passing cars could be a nuisance if you're a light sleeper
