The listing was exactly as described and pictured! The neighborhood was safe and not too far from the parts of LA that I was spending time in.

Parking was somewhat of an issue. I was under the impression that a parking space was included however, upon arrival I was informed that there was only street parking. Most of the time this was not an issue, however, there were a few instances where street parking simply was not available without somewhat of a walk.

I personally did not have any face-to-face interaction with the hosts however, my mother did. Upon check out, she was asked to leave an additional $30 due to having our pet, which was allowed, in the apartment. We were informed prior to booking that the pet fee was due to issues the hosts have previously had with removing dog fur from the apartment and told it was at our discretion. Considering the apartment was left cleaner than it was when we arrived and the dog does not shed, we did not feel that the charge was warranted. Unfortunately, this did not stop the host from harassing my mother regarding the charge.

Judging on the apartment alone, I would have stayed again. However, I have never had any issues with hosts in the past and for that reason, would not stay at a property from this particular host in the future.
