Definitely recommend!
The Host: Mathias is a great host! He provides very thorough information every step of the way. I was able to find answers to all my questions in the video he provides. He was very responsive and checked in with us regularly.
The Place: The house is just as described. The view is beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. Everything you might need is there. If you can’t find something or have difficulty with anything, it’s probably covered in the video. Yes the streets are narrow and winding, but parking was surprisingly easy. We never had any trouble at all. There are *many* stairs to reach the room, as he notes in the description. There are motion activated lights, and the climb is worth it!
We visited in December, and it was pretty cold outside. The room has an AC/heater. The only cons I would say were the outdoor-ish bathroom and the cold water. Visitors at other times of the year probably won’t have these issues. The door to the bathroom stays open when unoccupied, and it gets cold. Also, the video states that the water takes around 45 seconds to warm, but it took much longer for us, probably around 3+ mins, likely due to it being cold in December. That being said, the stay was well worth it. We would happily stay at Mathias’ place next time we’re in LA.
Thanks, Mathias!
