Spent 4 weeks here working remotely. Good choice if you don't plan on spending much time in the apartment.
You get the feel of an upscale neighborhood in a budget-friendly apartment. Located on the outer edge of Palermo Hollywood. 5 minute taxi to Soho.
Plenty of bars and restaurants a few blocks away. Very convenient to dine out every meal since cooking pans and utensils are limited in the apartment. Conveniently located near co-working spaces and cafes with comfortable working areas and A/C.
The host will ask you to turn the A/C off during the day to conserve energy, and not turn it too low to keep the unit from leaking. The balcony is a nice touch to get some fresh air and a breeze to cool off.
Firm mattress with thin sheets to keep you cool at night. If it's too warm in the upstairs loft, one person can sleep on the small fold-out couch downstairs for cooler temperatures (thanks for the tip from the host!)
With a few upgrades and deep cleaning, it would be a nice 4-star stay!
