I came down to LA with a few friends for my birthday weekend and I was super satisfied with our stay! I was a tad bit worried reading other people reviews before our trip but Jade exceeded my expectations. We were a group of 4 ladies and the apartment was the perfect size for us. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, we had more than enough supplies to last over the weekend, the apartment was just gorgeous overall. I had no major issues. Jade was very communicative and understanding throughout our stay, we had an extra friend stay the night which Jade was okay with, and she also let us check out late since our flight home was later in the afternoon.
The poor reviews I’ve read about this stay (to me) are either way too critical or items that are out of Jade’s control. To start, The location of the stay is not a bad area, the neighborhood is mostly families and we had several people greet us throughout our stay. I’m from Chicago so I know what an unsafe neighborhood is Lol. Yes, I guess you could say the area is “unattractive” because it’s not gentrified..but it was by no means unsafe.
Yes, there is a lovely rooster who likes to make himself known from time to time. i slept in the room farthest from the front door and I was the only one who was able to hear him. It’ll crow randomly throughout the whole day, NOT just at 4AM - that only happened once during our stay and I still was able to knock out. Roosters are meant to crow the same way dogs are meant to bark so it wasn’t a shock hearing him for me.
There are families who throw parties but it’s not the whole night and it’s not super loud to the point where you can’t get a full night’s sleep.
Bed were extremely comfortable and I wish I knew where she purchased her bedding because I was on cloud nine the whole stay!
We didn’t rent a car but there was a closed garage with a designated spot for us, Im unsure how others struggled with parking.
Location was close to the freeway so most major areas of LA were only 15-30 minutes away (sometimes longer depending on traffic)
The only note I left for Jade was about the hot water, as we struggled with this throughout our stay and she was very quick to come up with a solution to satisfy future guests. Regardless, I was extremely happy with your stay and I would absolutely stay here again. I had a lovely vacation!
