Pros:
Cute place
Location
Parking
Wifi
Full kitchen
Washer and dryer
Host communicates well
Able to check in early
Keycode door entry
Separate entry to unit

Cons:
Host is upstairs with young children who are active and you can hear all of their running around
Dog in backyard that is fairly quiet but does bark at times
No air conditioning - unit feels stuffy
Did more cleaning than in any other Airbnb unit but yet charged a $70 cleaning fee (had to take out trash, clean dishes, take sheets off the bed and put towels and sheets in laundry room).

Overall:
We said we would not stay here again due to the young children running upstairs as it created noise that didn't make our vacation as relaxing while in the unit. The unit is a great location to beaches, LAX, and other parts of LA. Jim was very responsive and communicated very well throughout the booking and hosting process. Think it is a matter of preferences regarding the host having a dog and being in the unit above.
