Overall, my stay was fine and I accomplished what I needed to, but a little below expectations. The host was accommodating and pleasant, but only did the minimal required and would only speak to me if I asked a question first. This was not necessarily a problem since I didn't particularly want to be bothered, but they never checked up on me after the initial check-in or bothered to greet me or ask about my stay, except for the one time I encountered the host in the garage.
The location is the northern suburbs of California and not extremely close to main points of interest, but it is an easy car or Uber ride away to most of them. For example, to reach Beverly Hills (approx 40 mins away), you can expect an UberX fare of 30 dollars and UberPool fare of 15 dollars (one-way). There is also a shopping center that has a theater, Starbucks, grocery store, and drug store within 15 mins walking distance.
This place is great if you only plan to spend minimal time within the room and eat a quick meal. If you want to spend more time, you might run into some frustrations. For one, there is no comfortable place to use your laptop or read a book. Second, there was no hot water in the shower. After ten minutes, the temperature only reached a lukewarm level. Granted, it was in the middle of winter, but I still should have been able to take a hot shower, especially if the faucet within the bathroom can actually get very hot. Luckily, the bed was very comfortable and there was no noise problem. Other very minor issues included: a lingering cigarette smell in the bathroom, a loose faucet in main area, and a loose power outlet next to the bed.
