I like to leave thorough reviews so people who book know what to expect! I definitely think Alejandro's place is an EXCELLENT value and exceeded my expectations in a lot of ways. It was a good size one-bedroom apartment in El Segundo. It is very close to LAX, so close that you will definitely hear constant air traffic that only eases up late-late at night. However, there's also a cool look out area just down the block where you can watch planes take off. There's also a dog park. When I first checked in, the woman who stays in the main house wasn't aware anyone was coming so it was a bit of an awkward start since you need to open up the gate to her back yard to access the apartment. The key lock took a sec to find but I had the code to gain access. Once inside, the apartment looked exceptionally clean and welcoming, very comfy. I think it's a good size for one or two people, or even a third since the couch in the living room is very comfortable. The speakers to the entertainment center were a nice bonus. It didn't take much to figure out how it worked, plus Alejandro left a thorough description of what to expect and how to get things to work. You can watch your own Hulu/Netflix/whatever account on the large TV. The bathroom has a shower/tub, which is nice. The kitchen seems a bit old, the fridge (or freezer) makes a funky noise every once in a while, the oven didn't get hot enough to really bake a pizza. From Day 1, I did have issues with the sink (the disposal didn't work and it kept clogging). I tried cleaning it out and resetting but the disposal began to smoke, so I just did dishes sporadically. My other issue was it was EXTREMELY cold while I stayed, in the 40s/50s every night and moving the thermostat did not get the heat to do anything. Plus the A/C unit in the living room window allows a lot of cold air in. I had to adjust the knob on the gas/pilot light to get any heat out or I would've frozen every night. Luckily there was an extra blanket available. Speaking of, there were so many thoughtful touches so you don't really want for anything. There was plenty of toilet paper, garbage bags, cleaning products, towels, etc... that I only had to get groceries. The bed is ridiculously comfortable as are the pillows, the curtains keep out a lot of the light in the morning. I will say if you are a light sleeper, there may be some issues. Besides the airport being almost right across the way from the property, which I knew to begin with so it wasn't unexpected, there are a couple of dogs on the property that hang out in the backyard all day if the weather is sunny... and they do bark. A lot. Often in the morning and throughout the day. I will also say that the apartment is actually side by side to another apartment (I don't remember that this was mentioned), and the wall in the bedroom is incredibly thin, so you will hear... more than you want to. This wouldn't be a big deal as we're all human, but it was often (even in the early mornings) and it was LOUD and it sometimes made me pretty uncomfortable. If you're in the living room, you won't hear any of that noise. If you're out and about often, it won't matter much. I felt like I had a lot of privacy. I didn't even see anyone from the main house or the other apartment throughout the month I was there except when I left, so you definitely feel like you can come and go as you please. There's a light on the porch that turns on when it senses you (if you flip the switch before you leave). You just go out and in through the gate. Parking is EXTREMELY easy. There's usually some right in front of the house. Please make sure to read the street cleaning signs as the street you're on is cleaned on Friday morning, so you park on the closest cross street (Acacia), and Acacia's street cleaning is on Thursday morning. So just make sure you're aware when you can't park on the WHOLE street or you will get a ticket! The neighborhood, to me, felt very quiet (minus the dogs/neighbors' dogs) and safe. In walking distance are several smaller restaurants like Subway, a sushi place, Mexican, Indian, a donut shop, a 7/11. Within a 5-10 minute drive is a Ralph's, In n Out, and then in the other direction is Main street where there are a few shops and then the local foodie restaurants. The library isn't far if you need to print anything, there's a park. It feels very walkable. Alejandro had a bike available. You're very close to the 105, which was convenient. There is a bus kinda nearby but it never showed up on time, so I didn't get to use that one. The El Segundo station (green line metro) is about a 10 minute drive, there's free parking, and it takes you to Redondo or to Downtown (if you transfer to a bus). So, the location was pretty central to going up to Venice/Santa Monica or heading down to Hawthorne/Torrance/Gardena for some good food/shopping malls. I would definitely stay again, especially in the summer when I don't have to worry about heat. It rained a lot and was really cold during my stay, which is pretty unusual. It's possible human error is involved in the heating. There's no washer/dryer, so you'll have to go somewhere else to do laundry! Overall, I just felt like this was a great place to stay, I had privacy, everything I needed to cook or relax was there, it's a great value compared to other Airbnb's that offer...
