I have mixed reviews on this place - but I was coming from a brand new place in San Diego so there was a big contrast in arriving here.
Great - the backyard is really great and as pictured. The House is beside a really cool antique furniture store called The Mart and was 250M away from a really great restaurant called Zinque. The beds were also very comfortable and there was some charm and some nice art on the walls.
Challenges - this place is a tear down with lipstick. The front gate area really needs some work and the front gate door barely opens. A lot of the drawers in kitchen barely open and the heating / cooling are very loud. The house is walkable to Abbott Kinney but I wouldn't really call it close (at least not my foot) and it's on the wrong side of Lincoln (though the area is really improving). There are homeless people sleeping a few doors down on sidewalk when we were there.
There was significant construction noise from the neighbour (jackhammer) and the host answered politely but really didn't do anything.
Our expectations for the price we paid weren't met but in the end we did have a nice time despite not really feeling safe in this part of town.
