For the price this place just doesn’t meet expectations. The bed placement is such that the head of the bed is almost level with the threshold to the front door. You step down into the room and there’s your pillow. Felt very dirty and uncomfortable to have my head at the foot of the front door. Hard to sleep, I had to sleep sideways to get any sleep at all. Very bad feng shui!
I expected much more based on the pictures, descriptions and price. I spent $250 a night/$500 for two nights and even for Venice beach, for what it is, that is outrageous. I spent one night in Newport Beach prior to staying in this room and had an ocean view, valet parking and a huge deluxe room and it was much less than this.
Basically this is an old, funky beach studio. It has been fixed up but still falls way below standard for what is being charged.
Felt stuffy even with the air conditioning and fan.
They need to also put some sort of lightning on the path that leads to the room. When dark it’s difficult to navigate the uneven pathway.
Wish I could have had a better experience. Sonya seemed very nice. Never met her but she emailed all the info to check in and all.
I have been a host on Airbnb and VBRO myself so my expectations are very high.
