The location is outstanding, even with the city sewer construction next door. Really close to the beach and bike riding/walking path to Marina del Rey! The backyard is a great escape with flowers, cacti, humming birds, and a funky cat. The neighborhood is interesting with a mix of older stores/restaurants and newer places. After awhile, the trucks and other construction vehicles, along with the road slowing and temporary closures get tiring, as do the passerby foot traffic rerouted right past the backyard (not the host's fault and he makes it clear that you will encounter these issues). This is a very good place (actual rating between outstanding and good, which one can't choose).
