The host made me feel very welcome and communication was great. However, the place is much smaller than what I believed it looked like online. No way would this place sleep six people comfortably. I think four people is the maximum, and even that seemed a bit much since the whole place is an open space (the bed opens to the living room) with one bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a small kitchenette. For one to two people, it was definitely enough space.
The place was pretty clean except for a few things like some hairs on the floor of the bathroom and a dirty plate that was under the sink where the clean plates were. Maybe someone thought it was clean?
There is no dishwasher, which is fine, except that there was so drying rack for the dishes either. The whole place smelled stuffy when I came in, but opening the windows for a while helped with that.
The TV was a huge plus. It's a very big screen with lots of channels and a DVD player and small collection. The air conditioner and fan were also a lifesaver in the late summer LA heat. The bed was not comfortable.
All in all, the place is fine for a short stay if you will be gone from the house for most of the stay, but the feel is very basement-of-your-parents-house, complete with a flight of stairs that lead up to a blocked-off entrance to the hosts' home.
