This was our first experience with AirBnB- we did not meet john but his wife came out briefly and she seemed very helpful.

the unit was a great value for an LA visit- we spent very little time there but the time we spent was quiet. My wife and 3 y/o daughter extended their stay last minute by 3 nights so the space was a bit small for the 3 of us but that is on us, - they noted space is for 2 people in the posting.

we have AT&T phones so know in advance that this location has terrible reception- my friends tell me Verizon is great - we had little or no cell reception and data was the same.

Wifi coverage here is not good as the router is in the main house and appears to be limited in its broadcast- this would have been a relatively minor issue for us had i not dropped my iPhone in the ocean requiring me to purchase a new phone and reinstall the operating system from my computer- i spent part of an evening sitting outside and finally just went to a coffee shop to access the wifi.

the Neighborhood is awesome, quiet and easy to navigate - we took a walk and it was amazing - proximity for this unit is as good as it gets in LA if you are spending time on the west side. They really allow you to enjoy the guest house and the patio off the back of the house.

This is a perfect location for a busy traveler who needs a quite place to sleep and to get up and go- it was perfect for us- with the exception of the wifi situation.
