This was my first Air BnB stay ever. And frankly, never again. Sorry for the long review, but it's worth reading...
In short though: FILTHY, DONT TOUCH ANYTHING, BUGS ALL OVER! NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!
We originally booked this location as the perfect spot to spend the night as a family one last time, as we were shipping my little brother, who is serving our country in the Navy, back off to Japan. It is located in the neighborhood we grew up in and next to LAX, so we we're excited. Upon arrival, it was dark and there are steps up a bush covered path. It was hard to see on our way up. We then had to go around the back of the house and make our way through the kitchen door. The house was filthy. It looked as though Irene had allowed someone to throw a New Year's party and they told her they cleaned up, but hadn't. The floors were sticky like beer was spilt all over, with leftover beer, food, and New year's hats out, oh and dirty dishes in the kitchen. The place smelled bad, things were falling apart, the couch was nothing short of disgusting and literally pieces coming off when you touch it, BUGS were literally crawling out of the sink in the bathroom and other places. Not to mention there are no window coverings in a house that feels like a fish bowl. We were so uncomfortable and grossed out that we left for the night to visit with friends and have dinner out rather than have to stay there any longer than possible. We figured we were forced to stay there to sleep, since we had already paid and could not find a last minute reasonable hotel room (yes, it was that bad). None of us really slept at all as we were frankly scared of the filth. We luckly had our own blankets in the car and used those in order to not touch the furniture.
I am glad I took pictures of everything the moment we got there, because Irene then proceeded to claim we broke things in the house/created the mess. Plus, I want my review to mean something. I have proof if people want to see. It's not a one off review to be dismissed, because obviously this stuff had been sitting uncleaned for a while.
This was truely and absolutely disgusting experience and so disheartening. Air BnB customer service was great, but I don't think I will be able to use them again anytime soon. It's like when you get food Poisoning from a place and can't will yourself to eat there again.

No thank you. Save yourself and your family the hassle and just find a different place.
The neighborhood is fantastic and if they cared about this home at all it would not be in this condition. Disgusting.
