Host level: expert.
Patrick is a great businessman who understands efficiency.
The entire process - from inquiring, to booking, to checking in - took probably an hour at most. Total.
I stayed at the studio on carlton and it was as pictured in the listing.
I loved the warm and bright lighting and how and clean the bathroom was.
The pin pad door lock was a great feature. I felt very secure during my stay.
The immediate neighborhood is cute and quiet, yet if you walk a couple of blocks you'll find a lot of food/drink/convenience.
Jesus, Patrick's associate, helped me with the check in (and my luggage), and overall was super nice and welcoming.
The only thing I didn't like was the sink. The basin is rounded and so any cup you set inside will fall over - annoying for dishwashing.
But I'd stay again and would recommend to anyone who wants to be in the Hollywood area!
