David was wonderful, extremely helpful with driving recommendations and local info. I was disappointed that he did not live on site as I would have loved to have spent time with him! He was always quick to respond to my texts. That was really nice when I had a question. He was very accommodating when we ended up arriving much later than expected. Even made him late to an engagement and he didn't even rush us! Gave us a tour of the apt, history of the area and went over everything. We felt very welcomed.

The neighborhood was amazing - very safe & clean - and beautiful. The apt was VERY clean. I was able to walk barefoot around the house! The 20's feel of the place was lovely. He has gone to great lengths to keep this styling.

It did get warm during the day, but the evening and nights were cool. There is a floor fan for circulation and an air conditioner in the bedroom for sleeping. We opened the house up each evening and it was very comfortable. We used the air conditioner a couple nights as we were in a heat wave that weekend.

Bed was too small for us, but it was very soft and my husband loved it! This is the ONLY thing that would keep me from returning. Since the couch is not designed for comfortable sleeping I had to endure sleeping in a ball on one side of the bed.

Due to roosting birds we could not enjoy the front patio, be aware of their season if you plan to use the patio. I love that he cares enough about them to respect their area and not try to remove them. We do the same on our property at home.

The couch and patio furniture need updating for comfort, and the TV really needs to be larger. Nothing to keep me away, however. I'm just spoiled in that area. And, a more comfortable couch would solve the small bed problem for me.

The kitchen was very well appointed. I cooked every day and EVERYTHING I needed was there including a heat diffuser! It's an antique gas stove so it was really nice to have that. I hand washed every morning, but there are enough utensils that you don't have to and a dishwasher. Very nice for long stays. There was a musty smell coming from under the sink. Probably just old house smell, but I plan to mention it to him in case he can fix that. Only smelled it when opening that cupboard so I removed the garbage pail to the side so I didn't have to open it. Solved that issue.

Our stay was very comfortable and David a wonderful "host". If you are required to come to the LA area it would be a perfect location to stay.
