Malcolm's place is very conveniently located in downtown LA. If you are lucky, you might get to see a parade or two from the living room.
As mentioned elsewhere, since it's a condo-approved Airbnb, you feel welcomed and everything including check-in & check-out is rather smooth too.
His communication was on point as well: prompt and straightforward.
The rooftop pool/jacuzzi area was amazing with a great open view.
We were a bit concerned with the one-group-at-a-time rule (maybe COVID measures?) for the rooftop jacuzzi but we got in on the second attempt so not much problem there-
If you have a car the free parking is a MAJOR plus too. (Imagine, otherwise you have to try to find a spot and pay each time)
The noise from the street can be heard through the restroom's exhaust system sometimes with a kind of echo effect but we were amused by it.
The same noise miiiight be heard in the living room but since the bedroom is in the back, furthest from the windows facing the street, it didn't bother us.
I'm a light sleeper, fyi. If it still enough to bother you though, Malcolm kindly has earplugs ready for you in the bedside drawer.
We made good use of the kitchen which has all of the basics -- dishes & utensils, frypans (big/small) and spatula & knife set, kettle, toaster and a coffee maker of course;
A cooking bowl & whisk would've made it perfect.
...and perhaps another set of tableware would be nice (when we stayed, there were four each)
Perhaps Malcolm will add it by the time we come back ;-p
The "heavy machinery" (fridge, microwave, oven, and dishwasher) did a great job and we also made use of the washer/dryer.
The entire building was spotless and Malcolm's unit was pretty modern and felt more spacious than in the pictures.
With all the above said, we would definitely like to stay here again.
Thanks Malcolm!
