I booked Sush's apartment for the three week period I was in LA. He responded quickly, he was totally respectful and the house was exactly as expected.
He left me a sweet note at the house when I arrived (with cookies!) and connected me with his friend who lived close by in case I needed anything. And good thing he did because one day I locked myself out of the apartment and despite Sush being at a wedding in Europe, he responded immediately and coordinated his friend to come by with a spare key and let me in.
The level of respect and care present in all our interactions would lead me to trust him as a host or a renter anytime.
