As I read through the prior reviews, I am torn about how I should communicate my thoughts about my stay. I would say that, on the one hand, the neighborhood is beautiful, the location is accessible to great areas of Los Angeles, and the parking is very easy, safe, and free. The host is very responsive and there was never anything I was lacking. The value is also great. And the pool and spa are spectacular, which is really the biggest plus when it's so hot in LA. On the other hand, I did experience some mixed feelings about the quality and appearance of the towels, sheets, pillows, and other appointments of the place. One of the sheets was torn, the comforter cover did not look clean, I did not personally like the pillows (though other guests have raved about them), and the towels were worn, mismatched, and looked like they were not clean. The bathmat appeared not to have been washed during the last 20 stays! I know other hosts who replace all of these items every few months. At TJ Maxx or other such places, you can get towels, washcloths and bathmats for $10 each, so I would really encourage the host to consider this. So, this is the reason why I could not go as far as the other guests did with the raves, but the place is really a great find and I want to make sure I show some love for it - I hope I have.
