I was so excited for this place because of all the good reviews but couldn’t be more let down. I am not sure how this place has a good rating, maybe I was unlucky but it seemed like too much to just be unlucky.
PROS: it was a nicely decorated house with a cool vibe. Modern boHo chic style. Bunny’s were cute and friendly. Front unit was friendly. Checkin easy.
CONS:
LOCATION: isn’t the best. Not the safest part of LA. The street the house is on is nice, but turn left onto the main road and it’s a different story.
CLEANLINESS: Not good. First thing I do everywhere I stay is check the sheets. I pulled up the covers and instantly saw 3 hairs less than 1 ft below the pillows. I picked up one of the pillows and another 3 short hairs on it. I pulled back sheets further and found a couple long hairs. I called the host told him if the situation and he told me to change the sheets with the “clean sheets” in the closet. I put new sheets on by myself but as I was taking sheets off found even more hairs and the mattress had TONS of stains. Absolutely filthy. Went to the bathroom and the bathroom rug was stained. Towels provided to dry my body were paper thin and also a couple had hairs and stains. Their was a towel left on the kitchen sink (meant for drying hands/dishes) and it looked as if it was used to clean the floor multiple times and then just put on top of the sink. All sorts of black and orange stains on that. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes and smelled terrible. Also hairs in the shower and soap bar left by the owner.
It looked like this place was being lived in and someone just tidied-up as if they were having guests over for dinner. At first glance place was in good condition but scratch slightly below the surface and it was definitely disgusting to sleep and shower in. I felt like I was house sitting for a stranger that had to leave town at a late notice. Closet, bathroom cabinet, refrigerator all full of owners belongings.
