Decent place, adequate amenities. Kind of noisy: thin walls and for some reason seems like everyone in the building has a yappy dog. Also 2nd floor so you get noise from the street.
Check-in is a pain. I had to wait more than half an hour at a Starbucks. Who wants that after traveling?
Unfortunately I had a terrible miscommunication with the host. I was in LA for a work thing that was supposed to go 3 weeks but it ended early, so I messaged the host to ask what I should do. I contacted her on Saturday morning, requested to be able to check out *the following day*, and asked whether I could get a partial refund. She said do not ask to alter the reservation, instead cancel it. I thought that was weird but I followed her instruction, not realizing the cancellation was effective immediately, someone would book the place for that night, and I'd be kicked out very suddenly with nowhere else to go. After I hit cancel I even asked "did I do that right?" and she never responded.
