Wife and I just needed a place to stay for a night and weren’t in need of a crazy expensive hotel. Thankfully this place was available and very reasonable. Host was super easy to communicate with!

The host was very responsive, and the location can't be beat.

This is a decent rental, priced properly low in a high rent area of SoCal. Reasons for lower value include no hot water, no lock on the front door (albeit a safe, beautiful neighborhood), worn carpet, and design that is more of an efficiency vs. an apartment. I did not meet the owner, but he was very responsive. Good crash pad rental for a no-frills traveler who does not want to pay 700-1,000 for hotels in the area.

Pros: The property itself was nice, and has a beautiful view of the Palos Verdes area. In addition to the one bedroom, you get access to an office room with a table you can work at, lots of natural light, a microwave, Keurig machine, mini-fridge, electric burner. Check-in was easy, host responded quickly to questions. Bed was comfy. Price was very reasonable.Cons: The bedroom smelled a bit musty, and could only be locked from the inside which was kind of weird- if it wasn't in such a safe area, it would have felt sketch. Only one set of blinds out of 5 actually worked, so it was always dark inside the bedroom. Water takes a long time to heat up. Overall it was fine for a 2 night stay, but I probably wouldn't stay again unless I was out of other options.
