The location is great and host is very responsive. Amenities such as coffee pot, dishes, washer/dryer and streaming services are terrific. My only criticisms would be that the apartment is very drab and sparsely decorated. For example, black curtains in the bedroom may be a plus for room darkening effects, but it’s certainly not what most visitors to sunny California would expect. Light colored curtains and a few inexpensive framed images would be a nice addition and easily brighten the space. The concrete floor is a bit depressing. Also, since it is an apartment in an urban setting, loud noises such as babies crying, loud music or slamming doors can be heard easily. This can continue until midnight, so light sleepers should be aware of this fact. The apartment seems to be owned and run by a tour company, so there is marketing material in a foreign language on the coffee table and all drawers in kitchen and bathroom have both English and some other language. For some, this may be interesting and helpful but for others, perhaps not. Lastly, upon entering the apartment on the second night of my stay, there was a written notice to the owner stating that legal action would be taken for failure to pay rent. Although I was assured that rent had been paid and the matter resolved, I would recommend further confirmation of this fact before booking.
