Not far from USC, great cafes and Korean BBQ across the street. Street parking is extremely difficult to find, so be prepared to walk or pay 130 a month for a nearby parking space.
Decent price for being furnished, but living with COCKROACHES shouldn’t be so expensive!
Host vaguely mentioned a regular cleaning service (at least bi-weekly) but never delivered. Speaking of which, you may need a translator to understand the host unless you know Russian. Any resolutions were reliant entirely on the landlady with no positive effect from host.
Common Areas: living room couch upholstery was repulsively stained. Kitchen: fridge that looked particularly old stopped working irreparably one random night, by the time we found out all our groceries were rendered garbage. Host did not offer refund, landlady only solved the issue by getting a new proper fridge about a week later. We were forced to eat out all week.
Bathroom: cockroaches came out of bathtub drain AND faucet, still kept appearing from somewhere in bathroom after sealing sink and bathtub faucets and drains. We were forced to shower at the gym for a few days, and move out on short notice with everything we own (we live in LA) because there was no urgent response from the Host, landlady, or Airbnb (like calling in a same-day exterminator, discounting our stay). No refunds in any measure were issued or even offered by anyone except Airbnb.
