I came to LA for my birthday.
I liked the house. It was like the pictures. Clean, nice and spacious. The host was really friendly and responded to messages in a timely manner (within an hour). I did not see them during the stay.
The only problem I had was that originally, I was supposed to go with some friends but they couldn’t make it after we reserved the place. I tried to negotiate with the host to get a discount or cancel the reservation and that was 29 days prior but unfortunately she couldn’t accommodate me as I’ll be getting half the payment back only if someone else book for those dates. So, to not lose money, I went through with it and paid for the whole thing by myself instead of divided by 4.
Overall everything went well and I enjoyed myself.
