Smooth check-in and overall good stay. Neighborhood is safe but quite noisy at times (fireworks, ice cream trucks, car alarms at all hours...), free parking is available on the street, and the house is located close to downtown LA and freeway access to go anywhere in the city. I never met Penelope and mostly kept to myself during my stay but all questions and requests were answered promptly through Airbnb. My only gripe with the place is the cleanliness--a cleaning fee was charged, but during my stay the house was cleaned only once to my knowledge (however, I was not in the house often so perhaps there were more a couple more instances). Just know that keeping the common areas clean will depend largely on whether or not you end up with cooperative housemates--mine were alright about it. There was also an issue with ants, particularly in the bathroom and in my bedroom in particular, despite me being particularly careful not to bring anything edible into my room. I know that I was not the only tenant to experience issues with ants. Of course, creepy crawlies are more likely to come around in hot weather so perhaps a winter stay would fare better in Penelope's home. All in all, a good value for the location and amenities provided.
