Overall, we had a great stay at the bungalow. The location was fantastic and walking distance to a lot of common Hollywood spots (Walk of Fame, Sunset Blvd, Melrose, etc.) There were tons of dining and coffee options nearby and both a Ralph's and Trader Joe's withing walking distance. The apartment itself is one of several similar bungalows in a small little gated group. It’s in a nice neighborhood that felt very safe. There is no assigned parking, however we never found this to be an issue. Even on a Friday and Saturday night we were able to find street parking nearby. Each of the rooms had a nice size closet with tons of hangers, which I have found is not always the case at an Airbnb, so that was greatly appreciated. Mason was super responsive and quickly replied to any messages or questions we sent him.

On the downside, the oven was broken, and this was a huge disappointment. I was in LA visiting my son who attends college there and had already bought groceries to make him some of his favorite meals. It wasn't until I tried to preheat the oven that I discovered it didn't work. All the money spent on those groceries was a waste, and I had one super disappointed kid who was really looking forward to some home cooking. I also noticed after the fact that someone who stayed in January had the same complaint, so obviously it’s been broken for some time. The kitchen could use to be better outfitted (no baking sheets or glass oven pans of any type, no toaster, no blender, coffee pot could use an upgrade, etc.) The linens (both towels and bedding) could use to be refreshed. I would also expect a higher quality given the price of the rental. I’ve stayed at several Airbnb’s in the area and have to say the price is high compared to comparable properties. Also, don’t bother texting Mason’s assistant Shy. We reached out to her multiple times and neve got a response. It’s best to communicate directly with Mason.
