So...
This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I had to really think about this before I left a review.
Let me first preface this whole review by saying that Jason is a nice guy and the blame for this experience does not entirely rest on him.
His neighbors on the other hand are a complete and utter nightmare. They are quite literally some of the worst people I have ever met and single-handedly made the end of this stay a terrible experience.
TLDR: Neighbors held an outdoor party with blaring music until past 3am. 3 separate attempts to reason with the neighbors failed. Neighbors threatened to "beat my ass" and Jason (AirBnB Host) did nothing to ameliorate the situation.
The way the back bedroom is situated means the bed and window are right near the neighbor's back patio where this whole party was taking place.
The timeline of the events are as follows:
When I first notified Jason of the party at 10pm that it was quite loud and requested that he speak with his neighbors he said there was nothing that could be done.
At 11pm I walked over and kindly asked that the neighbors please take the party inside or turn the music down so that my wife and I could sleep. They laughed me off and told me to "loosen up, its a birthday party".
At 12am I once again asked Jason to advise on the situation and his response was to "Call the police." I was a bit dumbfounded that I should be the one to file a noise complaint on HIS neighbors. I once again walked over to neighbors and requested they take the party inside or turn down the music and they once again scoffed at the request. I informed that I have been told to file a noise complaint with the police and the neighbors said "go ahead, we dont care." With little recourse I ended up waiting on the phone for an hour to file a noise complaint with the LAPD.
At 1am I asked Jason a final time if he could please intervene or do anything to ameliorate the situation and he simply said "theres nothing he can do."
At 2am I was exhausted and at my wits end and decided to try to reason with the neighbors one last time. I walked over and said, "Hey, its past 2am, please we have an early start tomorrow and really would like to sleep. Could you please shut the music off or take it inside." At this point the male owner of the house got in my face (obviously intoxicated) and said to me "I dont care what you want, You dont even live here, you'll be gone tomorrow. Now, get the F@*K off my property before I beat your ass." His two other friends circled around me to intimidate me while the wife of the owner cheered her husband on at his threats of violence. I exchanged a few more heated words as I walked away and the male owner yelled after me to "watch my back" followed by a string of profanity.
Sometime after 3am I passed out from exhaustion while the party droned on.
As far as I know the police never showed up.
Overall a truly awful experience that I would wish on nobody. Anyone who is considering renting this place should factor in the horrible neighbors living next door.
To top it all off the toilet in the 2nd bathroom was broken when we arrived and Jason was unable to fix it during our stay.
