Arineh was a great host! She was accommodating to get the stay ready a little before check in time and replied to messages promptly.
The location of the stay is pretty close to both DTLA and OC, which was very nice. However, the neighborhood itself is a little sketchy. Not the greatest, but also not too bad. We had to be a little more aware of our surroundings, but we were mostly out all day, and came back just to sleep at night. However, the bed was very squeaky every time we moved, and you could hear creaking floors from upstairs.
The stay was clean, but there was a a pungent chemical cleaning smell that permeated the stay throughout the night as there was not enough ventilation in the room. There was one window, but we felt unsafe keeping it open while we were out. We did have to open it while we were sleeping because we got headaches from the smell. But thankfully, the smell dissipated after opening the windows overnight.
