We loved this house and Alisha was great.
The theme here is getting the most out of what is a fairly simple house. It isn't as luxurious as some others we considered--no AC, no washer/dryer, no granite countertops etc. Instead it is a charming, handsome, older house that immediately felt like a home except, unlike my home, was almost ridiculously clean. The photo of the bathroom when I booked maybe doesn't show it in its best light. It's not fancy but it's clean, well-lit and with a good strong (not overpowering) shower. There's a small but lovely backyard (with table, chairs, umbrellas and small grill) with a great view of the residential mini-canyon separating you from LAX, and an entertaining bird feeder. The house is in a generally very upscale neighborhood that is quiet and you don't want to come here to party.
And yes it is right by LAX. We were there Friday noonish through Monday morning, and while the noise was occasionally very noticeable, we didn't feel inundated and slept fine. It wasn't a constant barrage.
This is a very hilly area. Trask is up on a ridge, and to reach the main thoroughfare to go anywhere, Pershing, it's plenty steep getting down and going back up. For our group that part of it was basically Pittsburgh except sunny, temperate and with much better tans.
Alisha was 100% wonderful. I had lots of questions before and during our visit, and she was super-responsive and made me feel very welcome; I never felt like I was fending for myself. There was also sort of a local guide/tips folder she put together that provided house info, invited use of the Keurig pods (enough to fuel an invading army) and highlighted local hangouts, like the Tanners Coffee (you like coffee and pastry and bagels? You like local? Go).
This is a long review and should have simply said: When we come back, we're coming back here. Thanks Alisha.
