There are a number of things that were misleading about the listing description when I stayed here. It listed “1.5 baths”- there are not 1.5 baths. There is one full bath: a toilet and a sink on one end of the room and a shower on the other end of the room. The listing said there was a microwave; it’s a convection oven. It also says there is a refrigerator. It’s a mini fridge and there is no freezer. The front stove burner did not work and the hot water in the kitchen and bathroom sinks took over 5 minutes to warm. The hot water in the shower was fine. The listing said “heater”- it’s an energy- efficient space heater that took almost four hours to warm the room. When I tried bringing in my own space heater, it blew the circuit. I stayed here in March and April and it was very cold. There IS internet but it’s not the greatest- I couldn’t get a high quality stream and it took me 10 minutes to download a GIF. Additionally, the listing says you should be able to walk up stairs to get to the apartment. That’s misleading too- the path to the apartment is up a cement gutter, not stairs, and the property is very precarious (lots of uneven stones) especially when it rains.
On the positive side, the space is BIG, it has a gorgeous view of the Hollywood Hills, and the neighborhood is great for walks. The location can’t be beat- it’s walking distance to some of the best restaurants in the city. It would be an awesome place for tourists to spend an LA weekend. I definitely do NOT recommend this listing for long- term stays. If you find old things charming you may love it. If you are trying to cook things and work online, you might not.
