I've heard the phrase "lipstick on a pig" before, but I've never actually seen it in person- until now. Photos are taken well enough to make this place look totally different than what you get. I'll start with the good- the lock control for the front door was a fantastic feature. Unfortunately, that's it for the good. The bad: the location was less to be desired. Just being in California, you feel like you need armed security just to take out the trash, and this place intensified the feeling. There is no HVAC. Just a small space heater. The visit during the winter made this a very unfortunate convenience. There was a 2" gap between the door and the sill, which only added to the cold temps. There was zero hot water, and when asked to fix, it was never done. The bed was basically on the floor, and terribly uncomfortable. The fact that there is a $250 lock on the front door, and a bed without a box spring or decent frame makes this place desperately uncomfortable. I expected better.
