Very good communication leading up to our stay, and smooth check in process the day of our arrival. Frequent communication from Shawn and his team to make sure we got in ok and settled.
House is in a good location in NoHo. Some nice bars and restaurants nearby. Grocery store right up the street. Easy to get where we needed to go and see the sites. Parking in the driveway was helpful as we had a rental car.
Read the listing carefully. There are no pull out couches. Just couches you can sleep on. The fold open “Bludot” couch was apparently horrible to sleep on (per the guest who used it) and said he’s slept on better pull out couches than that.
Well appointed kitchen with everything you’d need to cook or eat in comfortably. Fridge had an issue when we checked in… looks like freezer door doesn’t close properly so the kitchen floor was wet and there was 2 or 3 inches in the bottom of the freezer. Once we removed the iceberg and made sure the door was fully closed we didn’t seem to have any other problems with it.
Also recommended to the owner to find somewhere else to put the trash and recycle carts/bins other than the front lawn. Not a nice welcome to find a bin with a broken lid and smelly garbage on the front lawn at check in. Not to mention homeless people going through the recycling for cans and bottles Ike morning. Backyard could use a spruce up/cleanup, and provide an umbrella and umbrella base if folks want to use the longe chairs on a sunny day.
