Would I stay here again? ABSOLUTELY NOT! The host is very responsive, however, not much happens after they do respond! This place has NO HOT WATER! And NO AC! The sheets and towels were also filled with hair from what I’m assuming was previous stays, which makes me question whether or not they were even washed. They’re didn’t smell bad, but they also didn’t smell clean. I contacted the host about all of these concerns, and they told me that someone would come and do some “touch ups” as well as leave fresh towels, but I had left for the day and I wasn’t comfortable with someone just coming in with my belongings there, so I had to wait for the next day. We set an appointment for the maintenance person to come in and change the sheets, being fresh towels and check the air and hot water. Luckily I always travel with my own towels, however, I did have to sleep ok questionable sheets. I waited for almost 3 hours past the time that we had set. No one showed. I contacted the host again, they told me that they were calling the maintenance person, who apparently does “everything”. I couldn’t wait around any longer because I had meetings, so we set a time again for the next day. Again, this person hadn’t shown at our set time of 12pm. I contacted the host AGAIN! They called the maintenance person, they arrived about 30- 40 minutes later. He changed the sheet, left “fresh” towels, that were also filled with hairs! He was NOT able to fix the hot water situation NOR the ac! So, for my entire stay, I had to take the quickest and coldest showers! Also, Alhambra on average is a lot warmer than many of cities in the LA area, each day that I was there the temperature was 90 degrees, and I had no air! I decided to use the shower in the other bathroom, hoping the water would be warmer, it wasn’t! AND that shower flooded. The water backed up, I had to turn it off and get out and let the water go down, which took a while. So, stay here at your own risk.
This place COULD be great! The location is ok, it’s a quiet neighborhood, very peaceful, but very far from things to do- so if that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t the place for you. There is parking, however it is extremely TIGHT and hard to maneuver once back there. There is a garage, but the host doesn’t give access to that, so my vehicle had to stay in the driveway where the neighbors kids were playing. Oh yeah, and the mattresses are like hard wood floors. I awoke in agony each day because they’re SO HARD! Overall, my experience was pretty bad.
