Jeremy was a great host! He was in touch the perfect amount -- enough to remind us to check the 'check-in' instructions and send the door code, and once to check on us to see how things were going. We felt like the place was ours! If only for the two nights...
The check-in instructions were easy to follow and very accurate. We had zero issues. I also loved that the door locks again behind you once you get inside. That made me feel safe; like we were in a stylish hotel room.
The apartment was exactly as pictured, and it was IMMACULATE. The cleaning service does a fantastic job. And there was a pitcher of filtered water in the fridge which really hit the spot after walking all over DTLA all day!
The bed was pretty comfortable. It's no Casper but I didn't wake up with any major aches or pains (which is saying something; I was rear-ended last June and still deal with some issues from it). Plus, the sheets are very comfortable and high-quality, so they don't trap heat like a cheap microfiber or flannel would.
AC Unit is in the living room but did a pretty good job of cooling the place down when we needed it. It was in the 70s the days we were there and we probably only had to use it for a total of a couple hours... Just enough to cool the unit down a degree or two so we could sleep comfortably.
The shower was excellent. I always bring my own shower supplies but my fiance said that the shampoo/conditioner and body wash provided were fantastic. Water pressure is insane. The previous occupant must have liked a strong jet because when I turned it on, it actually knocked me back! But the shower head is adjustable for different types of flow so I was able to find one that worked great for me. I also liked the makeup towel, which helped me not worry so much about staining the bath towels.
The location is fantastic, too. The neighborhood might look a little sketch if you're from the midwest, but the neighbors were really friendly and after checking the crime stats (mostly theft and vehicle-related, which seems to be the bare minimum for anywhere in the metro) we felt a lot better. To be honest, we stayed at a place in Long Beach as well and we felt a lot less safe there! Plus, for a $6-8 Uber/Lyft there are a TON of entertainment and dining options.
I would book this place again in a heartbeat! Why are you still reading?? Do it!!
