This place is on a quiet residential street with no traffic noise and is a short drive to some shops and cafes. The beds are super comfortable and there are lots of spare towels and sheets in the wardrobes as well as essential kitchen and bathroom supplies. Check in was easy and a code is sent to you for the drive gate and door. There is no mention if this code is changed for each guest and there is no other way of securing the property upon exit other than with the code.
There are a few things that I have contacted the host about - there is an overwhelming cleaning products smell that hits you as soon as you enter the property. The smell gets into your clothes and hair and didnt leave the whole 4 days we were there. The place has had a recent fit out that has been done cheaply. The floor boards creak with every step and the water system is extremely loud both from this property and the adjoining property. The 2 blinds in the back bedroom are broken and have been fixed by turning the slats upside down. This results in the slats falling off and them being inoperable. There are lots of little maintenance issues that need to be addressed and haven't. The owner offered to come and fix them whilst we were there which we declined. The floors are really dirty and socks or bare feet are black from walking on them and the back outdoor area with the seating in the pictures is actually the car parking space so isnt setup like the pictures anymore. Please note that the driveway is shared with the neighbours who like to park their car at the entrance. I felt like a student shared house with no homely feel to it. Small additional touches like lamps in the bedrooms or a welcome pack would have made a difference.
If the above issues are addressed then this place would be an ok place to stay in LA.
