We found the maintenance of the apartments was very poor and frankly disappointing considering the price and description.
The apartment certainly has a lot of potential with a good location, in a nice and safe area of LA, and 10 min by car to universal studio but we had some unexpected issues.
The dish washer was not working and the host did nothing to fix it while we were there. Some of the furniture were broken. The curtains where falling apart every time we would open or close them. The coffee machine was also glitchy and kitchen supply are very basic.
The photo in the announce were similar but not exactly the apartment we stayed in, so we were expecting an upper floor and it was a ground floor instead.
The apartment seems to be managed by a company rather than the couple as stated and therefore the host it’s not able to really help apart sending some general kind messages of solidarity. The check-in procedure could also be a bit less stressful, as the host stated it has to be done through a specialist, so it is limited to the specialist availability. When we noticed the broken furniture and faulty curtains the specialist didn’t even bother to come back in the apartment and check it, he just told us he was busy waiting someone else and we should report it to the host instead.
