I booked one of the many units they own in this building for a long term stay.
Pros
Check in was easy. They were communicative leading up to move-in. The unit is located in the heart of Palermo Hollywood.
Unit Cons
I found a roach in my unit and the hosts brushed it off saying it’s normal for the season. I moved out as soon as I saw it and they refused to issue a refund for the remainder of my stay. The unit photos were definitely taken a few years ago when the room was newer. The bidet was rusted. The bathtub/shower combo was cracked with black dots that looked like mold. The toilet was also cracked. The unit was poorly maintained.
Building Cons
It was definitely nice when it was a hotel but now that it’s been converted to a residence the value has gone down. The building is old and poorly maintained. The hallways are quite dark making some feel unsafe. The doorman isn’t around 24/7. He doesn’t even work holidays which is unusual compared to other guarded buildings in the neighborhood. Anyone can enter the building with a code. The coffee shop worker next door even has the code. Many of the tenants in the building smoke and cook leaving the hallway smelling quite gross. It’s also next door to a very loud restaurant.
You can get better in this price point on a nicer street in BA.
