Well first off... if your a loaner and just need to be in and out. This is the place for you. If not do not stay here.
1st of the communication is lacking. I had no idea where to park... Street parking and random people around your car in all hours of the night. I was praying our car didn't get broken into.
The location isn't the greatest. It's in the hood, which doesn't bother me. But my girlfriend was with me and the random guys hanging in front of the property freaked her out.
We call the host listed on the site and he texted me another person who actually lives in the apartment.
I then had to call him and he met me outside and let us in.
The place isn't the best kept. If your an OCD neat freak, like my girlfriend, you won't stay. She wanted to leave. We just stayed in our room. We never used the kitchen or living room. Which is shared with the host's friend who lives there.
Our room was clean. The private bathroom wasn't. The toilet looks like it hasn't been clean in a month. The shower is old and had mildew stains in the grout.
Then neither one of us could sleep because it was so hot. It's LA , it was 80 degrees and the host never turned on the AC. I was going to ask , but we were there for 1 night and just suffered through it. I opened up the window, big mistake. The property is on a major street and the cars driving up and down all night kept us up as well.
Lastly the host friend who lives there cooked something and the entire place had a lingering odor of burnt food. I thought he had burnt something in the oven.
My girlfriend complained the entire time. I'm a military vet who have slept in worse conditions, so I just soldiered through it.
I hate to be so negative but I really want to paint a picture of this location.
I'll leave on a good note. The price is excellent.. and the internet was perfect.
If you need a deal and not looking for 5 star amenities... this place is for you.
But if your particular about certain things... don't stay here.
