House was in a great location and felt private and secluded from the hustle of LA, even though there were plenty of shops and restaurants only a few blocks away. Check in was was quick and easy, and the house was exactly as pictured. Our family of 9 enjoyed the deck and BBQ and were quite comfortable. Host was extremely responsive to my questions leading up to the stay. My only suggestion is for the host to create a quick FAQ or 1 pager to leave in the home for things such as wifi info and how to work appliances such as the dishwasher, which worked but with some finagling. I would highly recommend this host and home for a family gathering!
