I would give this room a 3.5/5 STAR rating.
I based my ratings off of the Pros/Cons but let me further elaborate. The communication with the host went well however, I feel like you can’t truly enjoy it due to the cons below.
1) Everyone over 18 y/o that plan on being there (Guest or visitor) Identification has to be submitted to host prior to booking room. If not, it’s a violation of contract and fined $500.
2) It is very hot in LA and AC is NEEDED. This room has a note over thermostat saying “Do not turn temperature below 72 or it will freeze the AC” So in other words, you have to be hot and uncomfortable with 85+ degree outside and 72 inside. Which is basically heat.
3) The room seen to look a lot bigger in the pictures however, in person it was a little tight.
4) No view. Windows face traffic/side streets. Room is located on like the 2nd level.
5) I feel like Airbnb host make too much money not have things fixed immediately.
As for the pros, the pool is phenomenal. The apartment is very clean. They went beyond with purchasing soaps and shampoos. They did not buy the basic/cheap stuff
