I'd like to start this review off by saying the host was a very nice guy and the location as far as Hollywood goes was excellent. I wish this review could be more positive, unfortunately, cleanliness was a major issue. The bathroom was repulsive, especially the shower. Whether it was mold, mildew, or some other kind of grime it was not a safe environment to stay in. The bathroom in general was run down and worn out, besides the filthiness, as was most of the room. I was not expecting 5-star hotel accommodations; however, this was far from an acceptable environment. While this is simply a room and I'm not sure if the whole apartment should be judged it is worth mentioning that the kitchen was not the cleanest environment to store or prepare food let alone eat. To his credit the host did meet me at the listing to go over the issues, although he was not initially there for check-in which is fine. Sadly, I was forced to leave the reservation and cut my trip short. This was my second AirBnB on what was supposed to be an extended stay in Los Angeles. Besides having to take a much earlier flight back and losing money from that, I had to cancel some meetings and was unable to use tickets that I had purchased for later on in my trip. I could not afford another place until I was given a refund from AirBnB, which was eventually given over a week later. I mention this because I was asked repeatedly if my leaving had ulterior motives, it did not. The only reason I was forced to leave was the condition of the AirBnB. Once again, I wish I did not have to write this negative review, but I felt that the nature of the AirBnB community deserves honesty.
