We came here May 20th and me and my friend were supposed to stay until May 30th, but we decided to check out 2 days before without any possibility of refund for those days.
In the house there was no cutlery, no hair dryer, no coat hangers, no coffee maker, and not even a broom to clean the floor which should have been there since in the "services" tab they were available at the time of booking.
Also (most serious of all in my opinion) there was only one cooking pot and it was dirty, greasy and even burned!
Regarding all this the host promptly apologized by explaining that the customer who had been in the house before us had taken (or stolen for better) both the hair dryer and the broom.
The host thus refunded us $250 and immediately called a cleaning lady to clean it up since we could not cook anything and had to spend it all eating out or ordering in and thus spending more money than expected.
Pros:
- The house is close to all the essentials, including a 99cents, Jack in the box, Fatburger, a laundromat, etc., and is close to the airport.
- The house has two entrances, one front door and one from the back both with double codes.
- There is a smart TV in the house with Netflix (and other platforms) and, of course, news.
- The hosts respond quickly to any problems you may have.
- The neighborhood seemed quiet enough, although some people advised us not to go out much at night nearby.
- The wifi had a good range and speed.
Cons:
- Many services were not met, although every experience can change and we may have been unlucky.
- It is not easy to find the house number, so both you first time and various Uber drivers and when ordering food may have trouble finding the right house.
- You can hear ALL the noise from the neighbors above....
- The house is quite far from all the tourist places, such as Venice Beach, Downtown, Hollywood, Long beach, etc... but for about forty dollars you should be able to get by Uber round trip.
