Darrell was helpful and communicative before my stay. The location is convenient with plenty of street parking. Things went downhill very quickly once I finally saw the place.
The space is not a cottage at all, but a dark basement with a low and thin ceiling below the main house. The space was not ready at the check-in time and looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Because I have allergies, I hired my own cleaner who could not get the smell out of the unit even after scrubbing the walls and using Odo-Ban. She also found mold in the bathroom. In the middle of the night, I heard someone stomping around, which made an already unpleasant stay worse. I had to scramble to find somewhere else to stay, which was quite challenging in an expensive market like LA. I have already sent a list of broken items and/or code violations to Darrell.
I would not recommend staying here.
