Jin's place is really beautifully designed and it feels like home. The bedroom has a huge king sized bed and it's very comfortable. The extra bedroom is also very roomy and comfortable as is the living room.
The location is great! Of course, we ended up driving a lot because it's LA and we wanted to see friends and places all over but there's no such place in LA that you could say it's close to everything. For us it was great. Walking distance to Trader Joe's, just a short drive to Pasadena with tons of restaurant options and easy access to highways leading to Hollywood or the beaches. We were also never concerned with safety. The house is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood.
However, guests need to be aware that the apartment is not a stand alone structure. There's an apartment downstairs from this airbnb and at times we could hear a dog barking and the tenants talking early in the morning, right under our bedroom. This might not be an issue for most people but I wish it was mentioned in the listing. It's just difficult to sleep in if the downstairs neighbors start their day early.
With that said, I still recommend this place. Jin is a great communicator and host and he tries very hard to make sure his guests feel right at home.
