BUYER BEWARE! We paid US$700/night to stay here—it is not budget accommodation, but expect to be treated like it is. Check in was a disaster, access to keys were not available from 4pm as specified. Host wouldn’t receive a call, we had to be patient to receive a slow, vague WhatsApp msg. Approx 30mins later, a cleaner arrived to let us in, only to arrive at the accommodation to find that it hadn’t started to be cleaned from the prior guests. The cleaner told us to return in 2hours (after our already 30min late check in). We had just arrived from a long overseas flight with 4 young children who were exhausted. While this ruined our evening, we recognise these things can happen and sought a reasonable outcome from the host, but were treated like rubbish. The apartment is spacious and conveniently located, we would just advise guests to seek alternative accommodation in a similar location—there’s plenty available and Marina Del Rey is a beautiful spot. We’ve had to score this property down on cleanliness, value and communication. All were woeful. BE MINDFUL, the host’s communication style is aggressive, over-sensationalised and something we’ve never encountered before and (in our case) would rather concoct an untrue narrative than work collaboratively and in a courteous manner with us. Thankfully this has been an isolated instance on our US trip.
