Nicolette herself is a very nice host and she's hospitable. The location is ok, not much to do or eat around there and you're pretty much in Crenshaw area (Culver City is the nicest closest area) but the view from the house is pretty nice. My only complaints with this listing was that there's two flights of stairs to get to the room, and your room is right across from another room that she rents out, so you can hear everything from that room.
Most importantly, for me, the bed was extremely stiff and uncomfortable, so I had back problems all night, and I tried to make it better by asking for extra pillows, but all the pillows were very flat and uncomfortable as well. I had just had surgery that day and I had my friend with me to take care of me, and even for her, the bed was so uncomfortable she had back problems the next day.
The biggest issue for me was that it says quiet hours in the house are from 10PM-8AM, however, the host had friends over for a party from what seemed like 6 or 7pm until past midnight. How can you ask you guests to be respectful and mindful of noise from 10PM-8AM and then have a loud party from 7PM until just past midnight??
I was also under medication that should have knocked me out, but between all the noise from the party downstairs, the noise from across from our room, and the uncomfortable pillows and stiff bed, I couldn't get any sleep and I was in EXTREME discomfort; to the point where I had to immediately book a hotel for the next day, and pay extra to leave, even though this listing was non-refundable (hoping Airbnb would make things right), and I had a another day left, that I had paid for. Also, for a shared room, $95 is a lot. I've stayed in nice private
guest rooms with Jacuzzi tubs in Glendale for less than that. I really liked Nicolette as a host, but unfortunately, the circumstances just wasn't right for me.
