The good: nicely decorated, lots of street parking, park across the busy street
The bad: ANTS, very weak WIFI, no trash bags/toilet paper/dish cleaning supplies, icemaker not working, no hot water (lukewarm at best), rock-hard beds and pillows, dirty floors, smelly towels.
This converted garage is right next to a very busy street, which is LOUD - you can't open the windows. We asked the host to address problems such as the ants in the kitchen, lack of dish cleaning supplies, bags, TP, removing the WIFI block on the TV, and lack of cooking utensils (there were NONE) on the first day -- after a long delay, they said they would stop by the 'next morning' (even though they live next door). When he finally showed up, all he said about the ants was "It's a California thing. There's spray under the sink." (Uh.... I live in California and have zero problems with ants.) Then after sighing heavily, he begrudgingly brought us a couple pods for the dishwashers and metal spatula and spoon for the Teflon pots/pans. Then removed the WIFI block so we had a whopping 2G connection. We had to buy the other supplies because we were sick of dealing with them and they were so slow to respond.
This location is about 20 minutes from LAX (when there's no traffic) and about 20-30 minutes from the beach. I think it was way overpriced and honestly, until they fumigate for ants and take care of all the other issues, I cannot recommend staying here.
