Denise maintained communication throughout the process from pre-booking all of the way throughout. She answered tons of questions I had as we were new to renting an Airbnb for longer than just a few days. She even promptly helped to resolve a booking mistake I made. The apartment was tidy and ready to go and had much of the supplies needed for a monthly or longer stay. You will need to pick up basic supplies (soap, toilet paper, etc), but that is expected for a longer-term rental. We left behind laundry soap, shampoo / conditioner / and a few other items for the next guests, which I am sure is common and helpful. So wait for your arrival to determine what you may actually need. We brought a water filter / pitcher so you might find that helpful. Note there is a refrigerator and microwave – so if you have basic needs, this should not be an issue and with all that the LA area has to offer, get out an explore! And bring your take-out and left overs home. The location is absolutely perfectly situated in culver city and super walk friendly to local locations, businesses, food, entertainment, etc. It is literally across the street from Sony Pictures. A very friendly, safe, and quiet part of the area. For those that may be concerned about safety (which should not be a major concern for the area), the entry to the apartment building is secured by a gate with access via a key or a code. There is even laundry on the bottom level that was very convenient. The apartment is a short car ride to Venice – about 4 miles away, or about an hour’s walk. You may even want to consider renting a bike for your stay. There was a small snag upon arrival due to keys being located in a different lockbox which took a bit of time to sort out, but once sorted, all was good. So I would recommend confirming the lock box location as often the onsite manager or workers may put the keys in the wrong box (there are three in total). She even supplied an extra key as I was there with my wife for part of the stay. While there was construction on the building due to retro-fit earthquake code (which we were informed of prior to the rental beginning, but after booking), Denise did all that she could to find alternate accommodations or offer a refund. This was not something that she could control as this is a code requirement. There were a few noisy days, but not for the entire stay, so it certainly was manageable. By the time you rent, the construction is likely to be completed, which makes the onsite, secured and included parking convenient, should you have a car. A compared to closer to Venice and even other Culver locations, the price cannot be beat. The only downside of the place, and this was not a...
