Pros: Excellent central location to lots (Hollywood sightseeing, Universal Studios, grocery store, fast food), free parking, free Netflix, quiet neighbors, free WiFi, very responsive and helpful host, super easy check in and out, comfy bed, clean linens, plenty of towels, shower necessities and blow dryer.
Cons: No cable, bathroom and kitchen need major upgrades (nothing functionally wrong with them, but just not pretty to look at and don't really match the rest of the otherwise modern apartment), AC in living room is pretty loud, queen size bed (we have a king at home, so this may just be a 'me' problem), and not enough outlets in the bedroom. There's only one on one side of the bed with 2 free outlets. Bring an extension cord.
