Paul & Blanca's home and accommodations were great! I had no problem finding the home, street parking was fairly easy to find and Paul was great with suggestions and offered for me to park in front of the driveway space if nothing was available. I did wind up getting a parking ticket one day which was completely my fault due to not moving my car the morning of trash pickup in the neighborhood. Something to consider if you aren't planning to be out early!
The entry and access instructions were clear and accurate, I had no issues getting into the home or my room. There is a keypad on the front door and another one of the room I stayed in. The codes were provided before check-in and were easy to access from the app. When I arrived the home was empty aside from Lola whom I was expecting! She was precious and didn't bother me at all. When Paul arrived home he gave me a full rundown of the home and what was accessible to me in the kitchen and laundry room as well as outside. Paul and Blanca are very gracious and I would absolutely stay with them again.
The home is centrally located and close to LAX. I was coming into town for a concert at the Forum which was also a quick drive away. I extended my stay for a week and spent some time visiting all around the L.A. area, getting to multiple parts of the city from their home was a breeze. I also came and went at all hours of the day and night without issue, I never felt like I was bothering anyone in the home and I only saw the other guest staying in the adjacent room once outside of the home. Everyone was very respectful and courteous of each other's personal space and noise. The room I stayed in was surprisingly quiet and with the air conditioner running I could not hear anything happening outside of the room.
The bathroom (which was reserved for the room I stayed in and was dedicated to only myself) was great and newly remodeled. It is directly outside of the room and has another door for access, so you do have to go between the two rooms and I would close and lock my room door when I used the bathroom just for my own peace of mind which meant that in the middle of the night if I needed to use the bathroom I would have to use the flashlight on my phone to see the keypad for reentry to my room.
The bed was plush and comfortable although very soft so if you need a firm mattress for back issues that may be something to consider.
All in all it was a great experience.
