We had a pleasant stay in Azys apartment. Overall, the amenities in this building were absolutely great because we had a pool, gym and parking lot. The apartment is not luxurious but okay for a few days in LA. Carpet could be renewed. We had some troubles with the check-in because we checked in late and Azy wasn’t in the building anymore, so the key had to be picked up from Azys workplace in Venice which was a bit inconvenient as she didn’t tell us in advance (maybe a day earlier) that the keys have to be picked up at a specific time at the apartment in order to not make a detour to pick up the key anywhere else in LA. Also the overall communication was rather unwelcoming at some points.
In general, it is pretty inconvenient (which is nobody’s fault, it’s just the nature of this building) that you have to use the key to get access 1. into the building 2. into the elevator 3. into the apartment and 4. to the gym. No problem when you are only 1-2 people but when you are a group of 4 people it could be a little annoying because you always have to go together to have access to the buildings amenities. We only got one key, if we had more keys it would have been much more convenient :)
Also, we didn’t get any information how to check out in advance, I had to ask again. We were wondering how we should check out without a key because you don’t have access to the elevator and garage door if you don’t have keys. So we waited until someone got down the elevator and out of the garage to finally get out of the building. The whole building is huge, so some clearer information about the check-in, check-out, garage use, location of amenities would be really helpful for future guests :) I think overall, the stay at Azys place was cool but in my eyes the building makes it difficult to make an Airbnb place out of this apartment because of the points mentioned above.
