Things I loved about Andre’s place: Location is phenomenal, it is right in the heart of Beverly Hills. Parking is off the street and very easy. Dog friendly with a nice private grassy yard.
Things that could be improved upon: Temperature control - I was unaware that the place did not have heat, which was not a huge concern but it did get a bit chilly overnight as the outside temps dropped to about 50F. There was once small space heater provided, but it seemed to be a fire hazard as the cord near the outlet got very hot and so we refrained from using it. Also, cleanliness I would say is the main reason I felt a 3/5 was necessary. While majority of the room appeared to be well maintained, the shower had a damp wash rag balled up in it that I can only assume had been used.
All in all, I would say my stay was still enjoyable but I did not feel my stay reflected some of the other reviews I read. If given the choice to stay here again, I’d say that for the price the location is unbeatable and I would likely stay here again for that reason - but I’d hope that some of these small issues were resolved.
I did tell Andre on the day of our arrival of these issues, but no solution was given during the duration of our stay which was unfortunate because I had very high hopes.
