Chris' place is ideally located in Venice, and check-in was very seamless.
Unfortunately however, we arrived to LA on a cold rainy day, and the apartment's heating did not work, nor did the hair dryer after we showered. We contacted the host that evening and were told an electric heater could be provided the next day. Further and while I am sure this is an isolated incident which has since been repaired, we experienced leaks from the roof during our stay, prompting us to relocate to a hotel after one night. I am assuming we had extremely bad luck during our stay and that these issues have since been addressed.
