The main star of this Airbnb is its location just a short walk from the beaches, restaurants and shops of Santa Monica and Venice Beach making it a well located base for exploring the local area. The road itself is nice and quiet and residential and you’ll know you’ve found Jeff’s by the very quirky appearance of the frontage. When we arrived Jeff and a couple of others were out in his ramshackle yard, he was unsure which of his three rooms we were staying in so left us to work out from the Airbnb app pictures which room we were staying in ourselves which we found a little remiss and unhelpful especially considering the first thing we found in our room was an envelope asking us for tips. However, he did allow us to check in just over an hour early which was much appreciated. We knew from the price and the pictures not to expect luxury and were just looking for a clean and comfortable base from which to explore but first impressions of the room weren’t great. Whilst the room offered basic amenities including decent WiFi coverage, a large bed, kitchenette and bathroom the standard of cleanliness was well below par. There was a strong smell of bleach but no evidence of anything having been properly cleaned, dust and grime was on the floor, furnishings and blinds, the bedsheets had suspect stains and the towels smelt fusty and damp. The shower curtain was mouldy and the sealant around the bath was dirty and came away while the shower was on. The random selection of toiletries and household cleaning products that were left had all been topped up with water so were basically watery soap. None of the blinds covered the windows properly and all let light in as soon as the sun came up and the fridge obviously hadn’t been cleaned or cleaned out. To sum it up if you’re looking for a clean hotel like experience then Jeff’s probably won’t be fore you, and wasn’t for us. However with a little love, time and reasonable investment it could be a real winner.
