Donna was out of town while I stayed at her house, but she seems like a super nice person and was very responsive via messaging to any questions I had. She was patient and understanding with my check-in and check-out schedule as it changed. The location is also great.
Overall, it seems a bit overpriced for what it is, but you could probably say the same for many Airbnbs, especially in LA. The place was tidy, the only thing was that the bedroom in particular felt quite dusty. I had planned to work from the house but ended up leaving for most of the day because of the dust. I mention that as someone who has allergies and asthma.
There were a few other issues, including that you can hear most noises from the other bedroom and bathroom, as well as from the surrounding apartments (I sleep with earplugs but could still hear a lot...the area behind the bedroom is echo-y). The wifi also cut out constantly.
I didn’t mention any of these issues to Donna, so it could be that some were fixable. She is clearly a great host but, given the price and other issues, I wouldn’t stay again.
