Collin's house is one of the best airbnb places we have ever stayed in. Starting with accurate posting of the Holiday prices and dates of availability way in advance-- no hassles booking. (Other places I tried to book had dates shown as available, that they then backed out on; and prices posted for Xmas time that they then said "sorry the posted prices did not reflect higher holiday prices.")
The house was exactly as described -- spacious, comfortable, beautiful artistic decor, and great for accommodating family reunion dinners with extra guests (seating 15 for dinner & sufficient dinnerware, etc.). I also appreciated that the closets, surfaces, bathrooms, etc. were clear of the hosts belongings, and available for our use and convenience.
Collin was also immediately responsive to help us out with "how to" questions. He was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond in making us feel comfortable and at home.
Great location! Walking distance to restaurants, a corner coffee shop, the canals and the beach. The neighborhood felt very safe, but I would recommend bringing a flashlight for nighttime strolling on the nearby streets and at the canals.
We would definitely book there again the next time we are coming to Los Angeles.
