I first just want to say that Nanou was a great host. She was very responsive and always made sure we had a parking spot right outside the house. She and her husband are very friendly and the house looks exactly like the photos. The kitchen was stocked with cookware/utencils and the bathroom had multiple shampoos, conditioners and washes to choose from. The showerhead was amazing!! They also offered place recommendations, board games as well as Netflix which was awesome.
My biggest issues were the electricity and neighborhood. I am very much a person conscious about the environment, however the power continuously went out. We made sure to always shut the lights/fan/tv off but it became annoying trying to dry my hair or even just watch a show. We thought it may had been an issue in the neighborhood but it did it continuously every day . The house was very warm (no ac) and thankfully there was a fan in the living room. The bedroom was too warm to sleep in and hardly had any outlets to plug in the other fan. The house was decorated nicely but the futon couch was not comfortable especially when that's where I slept most of the time because the bedroom was too warm and had no tv.
The neighborhood was definitely sketchy. Although convenient location to many places in LA, We were told by many uber drivers not to walk around at night and we couldnt get anyone to deliver (even Delicious Pizza which was right around the corner). You could hear loud base and music from across the street till really late (after 1am).
Overall, and this being our first time vacationing using an airbnb, Nanou was a great host. Definitely recommend though sharing the challenges about electrical, warmth and neighborhood.
