I stayed at Nima’s for a week so I could be closer to work and whilst I was in the process of moving to my permanent place. The value of the place was pretty good, and I was willing to pay it mainly because the location relative to my office was great. Otherwise, the space is basically a nice basement with a kitchenette (no oven.) Nima does have a lot of house rules to be aware of, such as no shoes, no sleeping on the leather couch, and no frying food because the smell will stay in the basement. The temperature is always set at 70 degrees, since it’s central in the entire house. There is a full-size bed, which was kind of cramped for myself and my fiancé. We did find a couple small cockroaches in the bed by my pillow, which I promptly told Nima about. She gave us new sheets and apologized and gave us some chocolates and said that she called an exterminator to fix it, though I don’t think that happened while we were there. Nima only allows street parking and she only has one parking permit, which was inconvenient for us because we had two cars. While street parking is free from 6 pm to 8 am, it was inconvenient if both of us came back early or left a little later for work. Parking is also tricky because there are so many rules. My fiancé is not from Los Angeles and was specifically not aware of the street cleaning schedule, so he woke up to a $73 parking ticket. While it may not have been Nima’s fault that we didn’t see the street signs, it would have been nice for Nima to tell us about that beforehand. She offered to pay for half the ticket, which was nice, but we have not received it yet. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend for a long-term stay, but if it’s short and it’s close to where you need to be or want to go, then I’d say it’s a good place for that.
