I had a surgery nearby, so we utilized this apartment everyday, probably more than the average Airbnb renter. This place is more suited for bachelors or young couples that plan on having a night on the town every single night. Sam's place was one of the cheaper ones in the area, and now I see why. But after staying for a week, I believe it's overpriced for what you get.
POSITIVES: location to Hollywood tourism is very good. Everything is easily within a 2-15 minute drive. Grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops and restaurants are within a 5-10 minute walk.
Personal parking spot is on site.
Cleaning was done well.
NEGATIVES: though the location to tourism is good, the neighborhood is sketchy. Very loud 3/4 of the day, and if you are sleeping on the couch bed, good luck, because there is a looney cockatoo across the street that screeches all night long.
The apartment only has one AC unit, and it's in the bedroom but nowhere else? So when we had to cook meals in the kitchen area, it got hot in there. There is a sofa bed in the kitchen area, so if someone is designated that bed, they won't feel any AC. I would not rent this place with more than 2 people, in the summer!
TV was useless. Only a few local channels and half of them were in Spanish.
The lighting in the kitchen/living room is terrible. If you plan on cooking most of the time, you won't be able to see what you are doing.
If you have a rental car, be mindful of the driveway. It's so jacked up that if you don't enter and exit properly, you will scrape and bottom out the car.
