This house really was in a great location for us as tourists to Los Angeles. It was within walking distance to all the local attractions, a train station and a huge variety of restaurants etc. and most of the sightseeing buses left from nearby. The house itself was a good size, clean and modern (except for the bathroom which was older and needed some work) and had a great kitchen and laundry. The Wi-Fi was excellent and the off-street parking convenient for our rental car (although I felt sorry for the people in the rear house who had to squeeze past our car to park their car).
Unfortunately we did encounter a few problems with the beds. Two out of the three queen beds pictured when we booked turned out to be air beds and one of them had a slow leak. The spare airbeds that were meant to be in a cupboard to make up the ‘bedding for eight’ were not there so there were only three beds in the house not four as advertised. Kirby had left a note advising us that he was out of town and to call a friend of his if we had any problems. After contacting the friend it turned out that he was also away and would be unable to help us. The boys were left with one working airbed between the three of them.
The other issue we had was with the bathroom. The shower head was broken and dangled down pointing into the wall which made showering very awkward.
Overall, a great location with a lot going for it but the airbeds and the shower made our stay a little uncomfortable, especially for the boys.
