The apartment is perfectly clean and tidy, spacious and extraordinarily well equipped. There are two bathrooms as well as washing / drying facilities. It's very nicely furnished with decorative details and fresh and friendly colors.
The area of the location is lovely as well - lots of nice restaurants, bars and cafés, and the Balboa park with all its museums, gardens and other attractions like the zoo is very close.
Lynn has been very supportive and helpful, and communication with the host was always perfect; we even needed help once in the middle of the night, and received an answer immediately.
I agree that the checkin policies and extra charge for certain things is different from most Airbnb offers - but it's transparent right from the beginning, and I think it helps to create and sustain that extra high standard, so this was not an issue to me and my travel partner.
