Highlights:
- the bed and sofa were comfortable.
- the location felt safe, away from busy streets
- plenty of space for two people. you could probably get some good rest if you had an additional guest that were sleeping on the couch, i think there was extra bedding in the cabinet
- hosts are responsive
- very easy check in/check out instructions
- we didn’t hear much noise from the neighbors. the neighbors were also pretty friendly if we passed by.
Considerations:
1) if you’re planning on booking in the summer, the unit gets VERY hot. the AC is only in the living room, and there are large glass windows facing the afternoon sun. we told the hosts this and were told to open the windows after sunset as LA gets cooler at night. the bedroom was unusable during the day. if you are staying in other seasons or if you plan on staying out the entire day in the summer, i don’t believe this will be a big issue for you
2) the shower is separate from the bathtub, and the stall was very small, almost like showering in a converted cabinet.
3) the space for you to park your car is very small. a midsize sedan was still a very tight fit. you might need to find street parking if you have a larger car (2 hr street parking 8-6 every day except sundays, I believe, during our stay).
4) laundry is outside of the unit, we didn’t use it but it looked like the laundry room was down by the parking spaces
