Elena’s home was overall a nice place to crash at for a night in LA! That view from the windows is spectacular! The jug of fresh water & 2 cups provided in the room was very nice to have upon arrival. It also is definitely at a good location close to downtown. Buses are readily available near the home so it was convenient to get to and from the home to other places in the city. It is close to a 24hrs CVS & Jack in the Box, in case you needed anything from the store or a quick bite to eat. Both had security patrolling so it felt safe even at night. Wifi was fast and reliable in Elena’s home as well, which is great! Gotta have that wifi :)
The address provided though was not the actual place’s address. It was just an address that showed the right neighborhood on Google maps. In fact the number of the address didn’t match any building in the neighborhood that I could tell? Since there are multiple airbnb locations in the same neighborhood it was hard to pinpoint the right one (3 buildings had lock boxes on their gates? totaled 5 lockboxes to try).
Unfortunately Elena was not reachable during check-in. We did have check in at 10pm though (probably one of the later check-ins). Elena had some issues with her phone that night, so she wasn’t reachable during check-in. We had to troubleshoot a bit with regards to finding the lockbox and building, but it worked out in the end! I appreciated the fact that Elena followed up with us the following morning to let us know the reason & apology for what happened.
I think it could have been a bit lower in price due to some issues in the room (slightly sloped floors so shower door had issues staying closed after getting wet from 1 shower, the bathroom door had cracked wood/splinters so was hard to open & close, and the room door had a lock to insert key but no door knob and also was cracked and splintered so was a bit difficult to open & close as well, etc). There was also no Roku TV/Roku remote that we could find? We thought about watching TV but then didn’t since we couldn’t find what was described to be in the room. I think the price did go down since we’ve stayed here though!
