Jonathan was easy to communicate with and promptly responded. The check-in process was super easy and was self check-in. This was really appreciated as it meant that we did not have to provide an arrival time allowing us flexibility.
The home was clean and generally the same as the pictures on AirBnB (some exceptions as noted below). Note that this unit is very sparsely equipped - there was 4 bath towels and no face clothes. As we were a group of 4 we found this not to be adequate. Also the kitchen was basically equipped - 4 dishes, 4 forks, etc. The cookware was limited. If you are choosing this home as an alternative to a hotel room then it will be good; In our case, we rent homes so that we can prepare some meals (especially breakfast) so the kitchen was important for us ... may not matter to others.
Some appearance aspects of the home were not quite as the photos...the private balcony was dirty and had a mop on it; the sliding screen door was off the rails and leaning against the wall. The view from the balcony is into the house next door (looked like it was their office).
Also the carpets on the stairs are well used - tattered and a bit dirty.
The immediate location of the home is in a residential area. The streets (laneways really) are very tight and homes are within feet of each other - no yards or sidewalks. The description for parking is accurate - compact car parking ONLY!! and even then it will be tight. Parking in the area is tough; street parking (that is not within the immediate area) is filled up by local residents by 3:30PM each day so finding street parking is difficult; public parking for over night is sparse and not close (1-2 KM's away).
Walking to Venice Beach boardwalk was easy and very close. Abbott Kinney was also very close walk.
Beds were comfortable; main bedroom had a good sized closet for suitcases and clothing.
