We (2 couples) had a great experience staying with Franco and his family for two nights. It really is as good as advertised; extremely clean, beautiful kitchen with dishwasher and most anything else you'd ever need, nice little backyard with a fully functional hottub. The neighborhood is nicely located close to the beach and a short drive to most other places to see in LA, and we could park right outside at any time of the day in the quiet street.
We also used the firepit and asked Franco for some lighterfluid and without us knowing he ended up driving to the store to pick it up, hence; he's really nice.
Very satisfied and definitely recommend this excellent location and host!
