I hate to leave bad reviews and in the end you'll have to judge for yourself, but this is how we felt. PROS: The house had plenty of room and was stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. Upstairs bed was very comfortable. Roya offered to let us check in early and because of a family emergency, we had to leave early, and though we had rented for a month, she willingly worked with me on a refund. It has a nice view of the LA harbor.
CONS: No AC (should be stated as such in the listing). LA had been in a heat wave (100 degree days) for about 2 weeks before our arrival and was still in it. After 5 days of suffering I emailed Roya to say that she should at least provide a portable unit for her guests and she said that she did have one, but did not know it was going to be this hot so it wasn't in the house. How could she not know? It had been that way for weeks and if she didn't live in the area, I know she could've checked the temp. She never once called us to see if we would've liked to have had it. I had to ask if she could bring it over and she said she'd check with her cleaning agency and let me know. I never heard back from her. We decided to buy our own to put in the bedroom and within 2 hours of installing it, had a VERY rude person who said he was Pres. of the HOA, knocked on the door and told us to take it out or he was calling the police. We obliged because we didn't want Roya in trouble with the HOA though we knew no police would bother responding to such a trivial call. There is no TV in living room only in bedrooms. A lot of stairs (3 story house). You have to drive up a VERY steep hill to get to the condo and then trying to get into the garage is an absolute nightmare unless you have an SUV. The driveway (shared between 6 condos) is steep, unlevel (made of bricks and concrete) and very hard to navigate. Trying to get in and out of town (San Pedro) is difficult during morning traffic. There is only 1 way in and 1 way out to get to her house. Though her house is pet friendly, there is no grass (only dirt) close by unless you walk up to the street and again it's very steep (45 degree angle or more). The neighbors houses that you overlook from the balcony have junk everywhere....sheets hanging from their balconies, etc (if you get the picture) . Not very appealing to look at. We would not stay here again.
