Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Gorgeous rental with good AC for some of the hottest and most humid days in L.A. We loved the ability to control the temperature in each bedroom. Super quiet and firm beds gave us a very good night's sleep. Excellent host with lots of proactive communication and extremely responsive to our questions. Even though the homes are right up against each other, there was a lot of privacy. And we loved the rooftop deck with good views in all directions.
