Carlos- LA Maywood
This was my first time booking a house through Air BnB. I was definitely happy with my stay. After reviewing the good/bd reviews I went ahead and booked a 10 day stay. I did want to address a thing regarding a bad review regarding the house. Carlos' ad clearly states that it is a guesthouse. So I knew what I was renting ahead of time. Also, if you know that area of LA all of the lots are set up where there is a 2nd house on the lot which most rent out.
Moving on to the positive reviews:
Entering the house - Smelt great and the pictures don't do it justice.
Carlos left us a nice note, beverages and snack, and a nice bottle of wine.
Layout - very spacious layout and comfortable.
Amenities: We were not expecting towels or anything like that but we had pool towels and bath/hand towels and a few washcloths. Soap, shampoo/conditioner, trash bags.
Additionally, they had a small selection of books to read as well as board games.
Kitchen - the kitchen has a big fridge, gas stove, pantry (had instant coffee, kureig, basic seasonings, cooking oil), plates, cups, coffee cups, drinking cups, wine cups, wine openers, waffle maker, blender
Rooms- the rooms were comfortable. I have back problems so I wasn't expecting the same comfort as home but I was able to relax and sleep. The recliner couch is super comfortable and we all took naps there. There is an Air bed also in the closet.
Cleaning service- We had the house serviced after a few days and everything was restocked.
Availability to address concerns - Carlos went above and beyond. He knew my daughter and niece were going to be enjoying the pool and he left a few toys and floats for them to use. He also was to answer any questions we had.
Overall, my family and I had a great time. It definitely was home away from home. Oh and within the neighborhood there was a tsco place we enjoyed. We will definitely be rebooking again when we come back on the west side.
