I booked Karen’s place for a weekend getaway to LA. I ended up going with one of my best friends- there was an extra $80 charge added on after I added my friend, which was a day after the refund period had closed. We felt it made more sense to go forward than to only get a 50% refund and find a whole other place for us two. After our 2.5 hour drive, we got there and found the check-in code was incorrect from the process on the app. Luckily, Karen was inside and heard our struggles and let us in. It was a little awkward since she told us how easy the code was and did not realize the check-in code was incorrect until we said so. We stood at the doorway with all our bags for a good few minutes and she did not invite us in, despite making small talk about her dog. We were tired from our journey and eager to change and get a ride share to go to our dinner reservation, so this was slightly off putting, and eventually we just walked inside. The room itself had a nice-looking bed, however was quite noisy when either of us shifted our weight and woke me a few times. In addition, the room had pretty poor airflow and was very warm with just a standing room fan - it felt like there was no A/C, although I did not ask Karen about this personally. The bathroom was shared and clean, however the toilet was very slow and weak to flush and made me nervous. I did like that the home had many quirky details and decorations, and there was always a street parking spot available. The initial incorrect code and awkwardness was a little weird and disappointing especially given the big increase in price for 2 people vs 1. However, the stay ended up being decently comfortable overall.
