This listing underwhelmed me, and quite frankly grossed me out. The room itself is minimal but the area rug needs washing, the furniture (couch and lamp) need not fall apart.
More than anything, the bed should be comfortable and clean. My guest and I feared there could be a bed bug issue. The pillows seemed scary and there was not bed sheet (only a fitted sheet and crumby comforter).
As I mentioned on another page of this review, for an extra 100 dollars, I could have stayed at one of the more clean and comfortable hotels in LA and will do so from this point on.
In terms of communication, I first contacted the host about 45 minutes before check in and did not hear from him for about 20 minutes. I had not heard from them before that. When I did hear back, I was shocked to find that the address provided was one down the street from the studio apartment the host advertises on Airbnb. I don’t appreciate sneakiness and I have been officially turned off by the experience. Days before I was in San Diego and had the best Airbnb experience, ever. In LA, I will stick with Mondrian.
