My husband and I stayed here for several days while visiting our son at UCLA. This home is so comfortable, and nicer than the photos depict. It has two nice sized bedrooms plus a twin bed in the office; perfect for two couples or a family of 4-5. It's on a nice quiet street just a few blocks from the canals and an easy 10 minute walk to the beach or Abbot Kinney. Ideal location. Street parking at the house was easy.
The bed in the master bedroom is super comfortable, and the house is nicely furnished. We weren't sure exactly what we would find in the backyard with the Astro turf walls, but we loved it and used it quite a bit. It is a perfect place to hang out with family or friends to enjoy the beautiful weather. The fire pit and BBQ worked great, the backyard couch is super comfy, and there's even an outdoor TV. We used it all!
John was welcoming, extremely helpful, and communicative; he responded quickly whenever we had a question. He sent an access code so we could enter the home without any delay or fuss.
One thing renters should know is that John lives in this house at least some of the time, which means he has belongings there (though he does a great job cleaning them up). They were not in the way and it made the house feel warm. It also means the kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, cooking utensils, etc. We cooked a lot, so that was a bonus. The TV and electronics were actually easy to use, to turn on and off, and the wifi worked great.
The house was very clean, and as we left to head home a cleaning crew was already waiting outside. We did not worry about germs or viruses at all.
We will definitely return if we are in the area again. Highly recommend it!
