Overall, the experience was satisfactory, as I wasn't expecting a glamorous experience. For my 5 day trip to LA, this was a decent place to stay, as it wasn't extremely far from the main areas I wanted to hang out in. However, for the neighborhood that it is in (DTLA), it's definitely on the more desolate and lifeless side - you'll not find a convenient grocery or 7/11 in the area, or at least WE didn't find one. So, make sure you do a little bit of shopping to stock up the fridge. The host does make check-in fairly easy by using a lockbox to distribute keys. However, the particular spot they chose to place the lockbox is awkward and extremely crowded by other lockboxes, so it's a bit obnoxious. Not a huge deal at all, but just a minor annoyance. The big annoyance, which is not the host's problem anyway: it's complicated to get into the building, and you won't get used to it unless you stay there for almost a week. We did not have a car, so we didn't need to worry about parking in the garage, but if you make the mistake of exiting to the street on the 1st floor rather than the 2nd floor, you'll be confused as to where you are and which entrance is what. The signage on the building doesn't make it easy to understand where you're going either. It isn't a massive headache, but you can easily get lost for a little bit on your first few times entering and leaving the premises. The rental unit itself was adequate regarding accommodations. I felt that the mattress was fine for me, but that's subjective. The couch was large and comfortable. The kitchen seemed clean. My only problem was seemed to be a strong mildew-y (or moldy) smell that hits you once you walk in. I'm not sure what it was, as I didn't inspect thoroughly, but there was a strong odor. It was mainly relegated to the living room area, and it wasn't so bad that you couldn't stay in the unit, but it was an odor nonetheless. The WIFI was plugged in, but the power strip was turned off when we entered, so make sure to check that before to write to complain about the lack of wifi. The shower I had (I'm not sure about the other one) was certainly not great for tall people, as the shower head was around 5'9" up, so just anticipate that quirk if you're tall! Lastly, the check-in instructions from the host are detailed, but could use some revision for clarity. My biggest complaint about check-in is that the address is not provided to you as soon as the booking is made, they only tell you what streets the building is on. So, it's not until the day of your check-in that you find out the exact address, which I find to be bizarre. The building is certainly active and there were a few parties happening in the units around us, so there's always the chance it might be a bit noisy for you - but it wasn't so disruptive that I couldn't sleep! Overall, my experience was positive to neutral. I wasn't expecting much, and what I got met expectations. It was definitely not an awful place to stay, and is a perfectly fine place to sleep and refresh yourself if you know you'll be outside for most of the day, and don't expect to have fun in the immediate area. Once again, the biggest annoyance is the awkward journey to your unit. Otherwise, it was a decent place to stay, for my needs, and was close enough to transportation to get me where I need to go.
