I only stayed at Juan's studio one night. He is an excellent host with quick responses to messages and questions. He was great at assisting me and while 99.9 percent of listings having afternoon check in, some 5-6pm :) Joan's check in is flexible which is a much appreciated bonus for travellers with luggage. Check in was easy, Juan sent pictures and instructions (believe me some hosts don't bother)
The very large sized tv was great, the building has a locked entrance door which I always like and the hallways/stairs were clean.
I had stayed in the area last year so remembered everything is close by, supermarkets, bars, eateries and entertainment making the neigborhood very walkable.
I use uber in LA but as the studio is on a main Street buses/metros must be steps away.
I didn't meet Juan in person but his good communication and happy messages show he's cool :) He's an attentive and caring host and his hospitality alone gets 5 stars from me :)
Thank you again Juan, happy hosting
