This is a really convenient location! It is quiet at night and has a nice neighborhood vibe. It is really close to LAX, restaurants, shopping, beaches and highway access points. The hosts have excellent communication protocols in place and respond if you need personal attention. Very easy check-in process. There are much appreciated drinks, coffee and snacks to get you settled in. Brittany pitcher with extra filters. Honest feedback on the cons during my visit: The apartment is decorated well, but could use a deep clean. The bed squeaks with any movement at all, but is comfy. The only “real” downside is that it is a very stuffy place. There is only one window in the apartment, which houses a room ac unit in the bedroom, which as others have said interferes with drapes closing. If you want any air at all in the rest of the apartment there is only the sliding glass door which you can put a fan near, but then everyone living across the courtyard, above you or walking by can see inside - so it was pretty weird feeling so exposed. I would not suggest a stay during HOT weather. There was no hot water at all on 2/3 days& nights I was there. Even then you need to adjust the shower carefully. The hosts graciously gave a discount for the inconvenience and I believe them saying it was an unusual occurrence as it isn’t mentioned in other reviews. A house manual would be helpful but not a big deal. There is decent parking in the neighborhood - if you are driving a larger car you will want to park on the street. I scratched my rental car in the small space ( totally my own miscalculation!).
In spite of these issues I would recommend staying here if you want a kitchen and homey feel vs hotel with coffee pot & mini- fridge. This would be an excellent extended stay for someone working in the area. As a superhost myself, I think it is important to be forthright in sharing the pros and cons of a stay. Overall, the hosts are very accommodating and helpful and their care in creating a nice experience shows.
