Don was a helpful and accommodating host. The place is located in a high/end and safe residential area. The house itself was thoughtfully built and the outdoor space with the ponds and greenery are among its highlights. The room and bathroom provide comfortable space.
During my stay which was during the colder season, the house did get quite cold. Don does provide a small space heater to mitigate some of the cold in the room. However, during the warmer seasons in LA, this is less likely a problem. Notably, during my stay, there was significant construction noise during the weekday mornings and afternoons. Aside from these two main issues, my stay was pleasant.
The kitchen is well-stocked by any Airbnb standard. The living room is also well-equipped. There is detached section of the house for additional quality office space. Don is generous allowing you to use any of the aforementioned spaces as you might in your own home. Overall, I recommend this place to the busy colleague.
