The check-in experience was overall smooth. We were thoroughly greeted by the two dogs, but did feel a little judged when the host assumed we're only in LA to "party". They were very particular about how we unlock the door and I can see why: the key gets stuck sometimes and the lock needs to be changed. Additionally, the host seemed uncomfortable with letting us use the kitchen and even admitted to not wanting to include that offer in the the future, so we ended up just not using the kitchen! The room itself was nice but a couple of small issues...the bed mattress is too soft and the bed is barely big enough for two people. The toilet unit is loose, there was used shower sponges in the shower and the shampoo and liquid soap had barely anything in them. Finally, we were told not to shut the window all the way because it gets stuck!
