The best thing about 808A is that it is walkable to everything in the Palisades. I did walk to the Will Rogers beach from the unit, but coming back is uphill so be prepared for that. Also, between this unit and other units in the same complex, this unit is nice because you can completely avoid all those stairs by coming in from the back side.
The unit is clean and has enough windows that bring in natural light that it made it nice to stay in this unit. It has a small view of the mountains, which was nice.
The nicest thing about this unit besides the location is that it has a stackable washer and dryer for guests to use inside the unit. Lots of privacy, and the noise from the apartment above was not bad.
The shower is small but doable. Not much room to shave your legs for sure.
The kitchen is doable, but the only strange thing is that the kitchen sink is a tiny bar sink, which is only an issue because there is no dishwasher. If you plan to eat home a lot, it is a little inconvenient, but still doable.
There is an outside deck, but no chairs for it, so keep that in mind.
Roni was reasonably responsive when I contacted him about internet problems. He bought a new booster and brought it over a couple of days after contacting him for the unit which helped a lot.
The only reason I would not stay at this place again is the host. Though Amir was originally friendly, after staying with him for 3 weeks at two of his places in the LA area, he was rigid and not friendly, nor do I believe he acted with integrity when it came to his rates.
He blamed his rate changes on the LA market "occupancy rates " for why what was quoted would always go up even though I was staying longer than his minimum. Maybe there is something to this, but I have not experienced this with any other airbnb. After staying in 808A for two weeks, I contacted Amir about staying an additional week. Before he responded to me in text the rate went up $60 more a night on the airbnb app for that extra week, and then he offered it for a little less after I didn't respond. Amir also expressed anger toward me for stating the truth about some issues and misrepresentations with his other apartment I stayed at, which I thought was very rude. Even though it was a pain for me too move Airbnb's in the Palisades, I would much rather work with a Superhost who I can trust, so I did, and for a lot less money.
If you are willing to pay more money, Amir's Place is a decent place, especially for the location in the Palisades. I was able to walk to everything for the 2 weeks.
