My wife is a scientist and she was to speak at a neurosurgery conference in Downtown LA, and we arrived a couple days early to enjoy the famous LA weather and culture. I personally procrastinated a bit in looking for a place to stay, and I knew it would be a bit tight on time finding a location that is central to all of LA's essential tourist attractions and hidden gems (Santa Monica beach / pier, Venice, Hollywood, The Grove, Griffith Observatory, LACMA, In-N-Out Burger, food trucks, etc..). I found Josh's property and I immediately noticed his Super Host rating, hundreds of positive reviews, and that it was extremely rare for him to have any availability this time of year on such short notice. I messaged Josh right away and he was so kind and flexible (my brother was to be flying in a day after we checked in, and Josh accommodated with no issues ). The room we had was clean and large enough for three people, and the private bathroom was a huge plus. WIFI was convenient and fast, and his two dogs (Roma and McCoy) were perfect companions whenever we enjoyed conversations in the kitchen, which by the way is always stocked. He is understanding of his clients' privacy, so he ensures that this is guaranteed. He was easy to deal with and his check-in / check-out times are easy to abide by. He does have a strict cancellation policy, but to be honest I have no idea why anyone would consider cancelling on him. He's an excellent host, and provides all you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. He's a down to earth professional that enjoys making people happy. Many hosts never even meet clients, but Josh was always greeting us every morning before our excursions. You don't need a tour guide or a stack of LA brochures. Just sit down and have coffee with Josh. He KNOWS LA, and all of his suggestions for places to see and eat were top-notch. He is definitely my go-to host whenever I am in the LA area. My family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts Josh. You're the best!
