You get what you pay for.
I love tiny places, and this one fits the bill. Located in a teeny tiny casita off the driveway of an old house in Hollywood, this place has all the potential of being a true little gem. Tiny, cozy, hidden away with a beautiful crystal chandelier dangling over an outside table as one of the nice touches, my first impression was "How adorable!"
I'd love to leave a stellar review, however there were some issues here that need to be addressed by the owners. The property is in serious need of refreshing. The large artwork, though attractive is crumbling, as is the bathroom. Walls and tiles in the bathroom have lots of mold and mildew that has begun to extend beyond the boarder of the bathroom. A superficial cleaning is done regularly, but a deep cleaning hasn't been done for a very long time. The kitchen looks very attractive, but crumbs are in the kitchen drawers.
I found the owners attentive to my questions, and they always answered right away, I compliment the communication and also the nice touches they left around the room to create the first positive impression. But once you look beyond their talent for making the place look cute, the dirt and mold and mildew quickly undo the impression. The internet is painfully slow and nearly impossible to use for that reason. The yard gets muddy, slick, and hard to travel through without tracking mud into the casita.
This place has all the potential to be a total gem. Until then, the low price may be enough to make many people happy.
