Pros: check-in, free street parking, location
The check in process was fairly easy and no hassles. Ori has left the key under the mat so we didn't have any delays in checking in. Since the apartment was on a small residential street, parking was free, although we had a hard time finding parking at the time of arrival since it was in the early evening. The location was close to Hollywood. We tried to walk over on our first day and it took about 20 minutes. There are some cool coffee shops around the area, within 5-10 minutes drive.
Cons: construction noise, fire alarm, not spotless, dirty dishes.
The biggest inconvenience is that there was construction happening in the adjoining unit of this property. It seemed like this had been happening for some time but we weren't aware of it until we got there. The construction happens during the day between what seems to be from about 9am-5pm so if you plan on sleeping in, just be aware. We also experienced the fire alarm went off 3 times during our stay which was a bit of a nuisance but it's not sure where it's coming from because there are adjoining units to this property. We were worried about the multiple fire alarms and texted Ori but he said it was fine. Maybe it's from the construction next door; but no idea if it's a glitch.
Although the place was fairly clean, it certainly wasn't spotless. We arrived to find crumbs and some dust on the sofa. There were also stains on the bottom mattress box of the bed. I will add, however, that the bed was quite comfy and sheets and comforter were clean. The bathtub isn't in the best condition and could use some updating.
Other:
The place was a great size, with kitchen facilities, a small dining table for 2, TV with Netflix (no cable), sofa and a nice bathroom.
Overall, a decent place to stay and we would stay here again. Ori came in to check in on us after we arrived and made sure we were ok, which was a nice gesture. Thanks for hosting us Ori!
