I stayed 11 nights and can say that it was a wonderful experience. Exactly how it was described is how I found the apartment. It was clean and had all the necessities that I needed during my stay.
The location itself is very good, only short walk to restaurants, Ralph supermarket, the laugh factory and Hollywood Blvd. walking distance to Ross where you can find good bargains. Sometimes I caught an Uber to Hollywood Blvd and it only cost between $2 to $4 it's very close.
On a whole the area was safe and quiet, sometimes I was walking on the street at 1am and found no problems. The good thing is that Ralph is open 24 hours and the cafe on the corner of the street closes at 4am.
The bedroom had clean sheets and pillows, very comfortable bed. The room could get a little hot but there was a fan, if it was a ceiling fan it might have been a bit cooler but still the portable fan was not bad.
The lounge room had a great air-condition and was no issues with keeping the room cool. The lounge itself was very comfortable to sit on and you could almost fall asleep in it.
The kitchen had a full functioning oven and stove. There are some utensils to use. I would only say that there was no microwave but can still use the oven to heat things up.
The fridge was very big and the freezer was also big enough to store all the ice cream I could buy. The Caribbean coconut icecream found in Ralph is the best I have ever eaten in my life.
The bathroom was clean and hot water ran smoothly. There was hand soap, shampoo and conditioner for me to use. Toilet paper and lotion.
The apartment had nice decorations, really unique style, bit of an African or earthy feel about it with fresh green leaf in bathroom, cactus in lounge room, nice wooden sturdy table, artistic pictures on the walls, good lighting and lamps.
There is a pool and gym downstairs but I didn't have a chance to use it. The pool looked very clean though.
The car park downstairs is very convenient and the laundry is conveniently located downstairs also.
Lauren was available to be contacted at any time and always responded when needed. She provided me with the use of a hair dryer with diffuser and made my visit that extra comfortable.
On a whole all I can say is that it was my first time using Airbnb and maybe God was on my side but I was very lucky to have stayed at Lauren's apartment. Much better than any hotel that I could have booked, it felt like a home away from home. Thanks very much for everything. These are the days that I will never forget.
