I had the most amazing time at Jennifer's house. They take the prize for the friendliest, coolest, and most hospitable AirBnB hosts, and definitely the ones with the cutest dog :-). The house itself is very pretty and cozy, and the room is impeccably clean with a very comfortable bed. The use of your own bathroom was great and even the shower pressure was amazing. The neighborhood is a quiet one with a lot of amenities nearby and felt very safe. They've really thought of everything to keep you comfortable in the house and their communication is prompt and thorough.
The location for me was absolutely perfect - I didn't have a car, and they were a 15-minute walk to the Expo line which took you straight to downtown or the beach, and a ton of buses run by their house. If you did have a car, they have a ton of street parking (a huge plus in LA), and pretty easy access to wherever you might want to go.
I noticed a few other reviews mention the hum of the freeway as well - to me the hum was very light and just faded into background noise. Since it was more of a constant light hum you never noticed cars zooming by or anything (which to me is much noisier). I personally forgot it was even there and was only reminded by the reviews.
I tend to be very busy when I'm visiting other cities, so I loved the balance that Jennifer's AirBnB struck between easy access to my own room using the keypad if I was coming in late and the overt friendliness and hospitality of the hosts. They gave me a very thorough tour of the house, drove me to get donuts when it was raining, made me a baked avocado (soo good), offered to let me leave my bag at their house until my flight, and were so friendly and approachable. I was really sad to leave. They said they have several repeat customers and I can see why - next time I'm in LA I am looking up their house first, no question. Thank you Jennifer and Jack for such an amazing trip!
