Doron's place is at an amazing location with great proximity to the museums, The Grove and just a block away from the grocery store (Vons). Unfortunately for my friend and I, we didn't have the best experience staying here. Maybe we were just unlucky because everyone before us seems to have had a great experience.
There were a few things that were off putting:
1. There were spider webs in the bedroom wardrobe.
2. We could see strands of hair (probably from the previous guest) in the washroom.
3. The pillows were yellow.
4. The couch didn't look like the one in the pictures and it was quite hard. We could literally feel the springs/coil that lay beneath it. Our plan was to spend the workday (9am-5pm) working from home and this meant that we spent a lot of time on the couch.
5. The bodywash bottle was present but it was empty. This was very minor so we just replaced it from Vons. The pump part of the shampoo bottle was also broken.
6. Again a minor inconvenience in perspective was that the shower pressure is quite low.
7. The laundry was a shared and paid one for the apartment complex. We had to wait till late in the night for it to become available.
When I book an AirBnb, I go with the expectation that it meets some standards. Especially with COVID still at large, it wasn't very comforting to find strands of hair in the washroom.
Again, seeing that there are so many others who had a good experience staying at Doron's, I feel we might've been the unlucky ones and hope future guests have a better experience!
