My sister and I stayed at Matt's home for almost 4 months. In terms of what we were looking for (a home with 2 bedrooms of roughly equal size in the Silver Lake area that had a in unit washer, dryer and a full kitchen) it definitely ticked all those boxes. The house's biggest strength is its location. The house is located in a quiet but easily accessible area. Trendy shops, cafes and restaurants in both Silver Lake and Echo Park are just a stone's throw away, as are several fun hiking trails. The neighbourhood provides lots of privacy and quiet during the night, but is quaint and cute enough for early evening walks. I think it would be hard to find an Airbnb in the LA area that could deliver both a comfortable residential and active & lively experience the way that Matt's home does.
Speaking of which, throughout our stay, Matt was always consistent with communication. From replacing a broken chair to garbage disposal repair, they were always done in a timely manner. We also had to lengthen our stay several times and Matt was always gracious enough to help us stay longer. I believe that is a trustworthy host who has rightfully earned his superhost badge.
If there were two things that I had to list as points for improvement: Firstly, the walls of the house are quite thin. So you can easily hear from the next room over, or even neighbours outside the house, construction and the like. I recognise that this isn't something that could be readily fixed, but it is just something to keep in mind. Secondly, there was a good amount of kitchenware/cutlery/dinnerware that seemed not to have been cleaned thoroughly and there seemed to be a dust problem in the house.
Overall, we had a great stay at Matt's home and I would stay here again. I would recommend this place to anybody, but especially those staying for up to 4 weeks.
