This place is an excellent find at an affordable price. The location is perfect for the places we wanted to visit. I can definitely recommend it. (Read last paragraph for any negatives)
The neighborhood is fine in my opinion. It can look a bit rough from the outside, but that is just how many neighborhoods look in Los Angeles. It is primarily a Latino community if that is any concern. The private parking is a huge plus.
The apartment itself is spacious, and has a very open decor. The kitchen is fully stocked with most thing you needs, although we couldn't find a cutting board. There is a large dining table located just out of the kitchen leading into the living room. The living room has a large high definition smart TV with Hulu, and Netflix. The couch is a folds into bed, and so its a little bit uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time. There is a cushion in one of the closets to place over the couch if this is an issue.
There are two beds in each of the two rooms. There is a large bed that can sleep two people, and a small bed that can sleep one person. There are closets and drawers that one can use to store their clothing. The closets also have spare blankets and other things you may find useful.
The Bathroom has a large walk in shower, and comes stocked with plenty of towels. The whole place, including the bathroom is clean.
During our stay we had several questions and the host was always quick to respond. The only issue we had is that several members of our group woke up to what seemed like bites/rashes on our arms and legs. We asked the host about this and he said that one of the beds had "ants" in them and that they sprayed the bed thoroughly before renting it out. I've been home for a week now and I haven't had any bites/rashes, so whatever it was we didn't take it with us. I'm not going to make any claims but simply stating my experience. This would be the only deal breaker to any potential renters.
