The house is a great space and tastefully decorated. It was a very convenient location for our work and meetings.
We experienced several disappointing occurrences which we have communicated with the owner.
After communicating in advance that we desired an early check in, we understood time is needed to turn over the house. However, guests arrived around 3:45 and found the house locked with a pizza box in the kitchen and beds unmade. Around 4:20, I got a message that the cleaners were running late. My friends returned around 4:30 to find the cleaners still there.
We had difficulty getting a response when lights were not working. When the owner responded much later, she directed me to contact her friend who is local rather than contacting someone to assist us herself (or providing the contact info of the person who would actually be available to assist from the start).
There were a number of things my team noted that are minor issues, but not up to the standards of a superhost such as lights not working or inconveniences. Mentioned in the ad to be sure to note is the challenge parking. The house is on a very busy road. There are 2 parking spaces, but it is very difficult to get out, or to back in. If you are walking and enjoying the Hawthorne area, it's a perfect location.
