The house was as expected, and exactly as shown in the pictures. All the appliances worked, the bathroom was clean and the shower had good pressure and water was hot. AC was great. The house is tucked away, the neighborhood is very quiet even though the main street is somewhat busy and there is a school close by. I wouldn't recommend this place for families with young children but for a small group of adults it suited us perfectly. There is a lot of stairs to get to the house and you have to climb going uphill. Overall Carlos was a great host, and LA is an awesome City to visit.
