Stayed here for 3 nights. Although I did not meet the host, obtaining the key was very easy, and the building manager did text me throughout our stay to make sure everything was ok. The apartment is small but clean and exactly as shown in the photos. Walking distance to the hollywood tourist sights. We rented a car and drove to everything else so I cannot comment on access to public transport. The parking was right around the building, safe and convenient. We did not use anything in the kitchen but it seemed well-equipped. Overall a good experience, and good for budget travelers.
