Location is decent (near some great music stores, restaurants, and a lot of other things to do). The room itself is decent. I didn't know that the room wouldn't offer any blockage from sounds in the living room, because it didn't have a closed wall. The bed stank of body odor before I got there, so I had to Febreeze the bed multiple times over to make it usable, but there was a Febreeze bottle available.
There were a few days that I had to be sure to be out of the room, because the owner was having work done on the door that was attached to my room. It was an unforeseen inconvenience, but he made up for it by giving me $10 for lunch.
One one of those days that I was waiting for the workers in the room, I happened to be outside the main door and the building owner came by and told me that there were to be absolutely no AirBnB guests in the building. That, of course, freaked me out. I told the owner of the room of what just happened and he told me that rule only applied to short term stays, not long term guests. So that was resolved.
In case of a pandemic (like the COVID-19) be aware that your money won't be returned, even after a personal discussion with the owner about the current issues and the necessity to return home early. Not even a week after I returned home, LA put just about everything on lockdown and there was a high chance that I wouldn't have been able to return home at all if I stayed for the original plan. The owner and I spoke about it and he agreed to give me a refund and I offered to give him some money in return for all the trouble that it caused. A week later, I received a message from AirBnB, saying that he decided not to return anything at all to me in the midst of the pandemic and in spite of our discussion and my perceived mutual understanding.
Because of his policy, he is within his rights to keep the money. I had only hoped that our verbal agreement would've been honored.
