I'd like to start off by saying that this really isn't a "studio" as so much as a room and bathroom that has been added on to the side of someone's house. It does have it's own private entrance which is nice but the feeling of privacy is limited when you can hear other people because there is a door that leads into their actual home from the Airbnb.
I read a review of someone claiming that this place was unclean when they arrived and I have to echo that sentiment in my review. Although I will say, everything seemed to be clean EXCEPT the floors. I stayed here for 2 months and when asking to borrow some cleaning supplies to keep the place clean during my stay I discovered why. The vacuum that was provided was a rickety old Dyson that did half sucking up dirt and half spreading it around to other places. The room also lacked a trashcan (I'm not counting the very tiny one in the bathroom) which was weird to me.
The neighborhood it's located in is definitely nice and safe. I went on several runs during my stay and it was great.
The host seems like a nice guy, but it does seem like running an Airbnb is an afterthought for him and that guest care doesn't really take priority. I have 2 examples here, the first example is when I checked in a day late, which I told the host about previously and he had responded with "okay, just call me or message me when you get here." Unfortunately when I called him it was going straight to voicemail and I messaged him with no response. I then decided to knock on a door in the front of the property and someone (another one of the guests on his property) opened the door and explained that he was out of country and that a house sitter could help me out. She then told me that the key was probably under the mat. I found the key and went in. So my host didn't check me in, nor did he communicate that he wouldn't be available. That's kinda crazy, right? The second example is that I went back home (Texas) for a couple of days and accidentally left my credit card at a restaurant. I decided to have the restaurant send the car to the Sherman Oaks Airbnb I was staying at. Since I was going to be at a conference and staying downtown in LA all that week, I asked the host to please let me know as soon as the envelope came in because it contained something sensitive and urgent. I never heard from him. Then when I returned after 4 days of being downtown, I saw the envelope with my credit card was simply just left on my doorstep and I hadn't been notified. In his defense, he followed up with me via a message asking if I had received my letter but it was only after I asked to borrow cleaning supplies.
Lastly I have to mention the dogs. During my 2 month stay, this only happened a handful of times, but I could hear his two dogs going nuts and barking from within their house. I went outside just to ensure that there weren't dogs barking outside in the back or the neighbor's yard and confirmed that wasn't the case. This would happen at around 11pm, so if you're a light sleeper or someone who has trouble sleeping in noisy environment this could be a detrimental factor to your stay.
That being said, I think that all in all this is a decent place to crash for a couple of nights if you don't mind the things mentioned above. It worked well for me and I made due with all of the insufficiencies compared to other airbnbs I've stayed at.
