Positives: Oren is an amazing host (one of the best I have come across) and incredibly responsive and makes check in and being in the home easy. Its a genuine family home. The location is a short drive to grocery stores etc and its close enough to LA beaches. The pool was a nice temperature for us (August) and the kids had fun with the pool table and video games. Drawbacks: The bathrooms and exterior space are dated and as a result I felt like it was overpriced in comparison to other $1k+ a night places I have stayed at.
