Myself and my group of friends had a great time staying at this home.
The hosts - Cynthia and Ryan were extremely responsive throughout the process and sent detailed instructions as to how to best utilize the house's many features. I greatly appreciated this, as I am a very detail-oriented person! They also granted us early check-in due to our flight arriving several hours before we were supposed to have access to the house, which was also much appreciated.
The neighborhood - The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet and I felt safe there even as a first-time traveler to LA.
The house - It was well-equipped for our large group of seven, including towels and extra blankets, and we never felt cramped. We were grateful for the full-size kitchen, which we cooked in several times, as well as the washer/dryer and all the toiletries in the bathroom.
The three things to note - the house itself is older, which I happen to like as it adds character; however, do note that the walls are fairly thin so noises being made in one part of the house will be heard everywhere. The beds are not the world's most comfortable (in particular the pull-out couch), but they are certainly workable. As a final thing (and I feel this is probably true in many parts of LA) is that the area is extremely residential, so in order to get to the grocery store, coffee shop etc. you need to drive. For the value of the home and the quiet neighborhood, however, we were happy to make that sacrifice!
Final verdict - Overall, loved using this as our home base as we explored LA and would happily recommend to other groups.
