Clean house, functional /open layout, convenient address, private driveway for 2+ cars, tucked on a quiet street. Our party of three professionals staying for 8 days of work recommend this rental at the highest level. All the basics earned our 5-stars and the price is VERY reasonable and competitive for comparable rentals in nearly all the remaining neighborhoods in LA.
Joseph is a prompt, generous host. He answered ALL my texts within minutes - I asked if there was a pot for boiling water and the next day he dropped it (and a hair dryer) at the door. The listing is new --I believe we were the 2nd renters--so perfectly okay for a host to let renters' requests add in additional amenities. And he was very willing and kind from the beginning working with our specific circumstances concerning reservation, payment and check-out. I greatly appreciated a host who was flexible, helpful and clearly invested in our having a comfortable, even joyous stay.
I asked J if we could rent his house for future trips and think of it as a base around which to organize our itineraries and work. We won't be looking elsewhere or renting hotels in LA after this experience.
