I’m pretty indifferent about our stay at this airbnb. I appreciate that we were able to check-in so late since our flight got in at night. The location was also great. It’s in a pretty central area where a ride to K-town, DTLA or LAX will only take 15-30 mins depending on traffic. However, for those renting a car, the parking situation was not the greatest. The walkway to the guesthouse is VERY narrow, even for a compact car. I suggest practicing reversing in a straight line or else you’ll be doing a 20-point turn every time you’re leaving for your day. We also had issues with the gate clicker. The button was a little wonky so it took a few tries to get the gate to open. The host was very prompt in addressing our needs for a new clicker; however, we never got it replaced due to a problem with delivery (not at fault of the host though). The space itself looks like just the pictures. The sleeping area was spacious and included a large mirrored sliding closet door which allowed four girls to leisurely get ready for the day. The beds weren’t the most comfortable though. They were VERY loud and squeaky. The pillows were also very flimsy. If you’re used to a firmer pillow, you’ll need to fold this one in half. Lastly, the blankets were paper thin. They would be fine any other time of the year but we were freezing with the chilly December mornings. We knew that there was no heat in the unit but it would’ve been nice to have a space heater, additional heavier comforters, or even just a few throw blankets to help with the cold.
I also wanted to address that there was some issues with cleanliness. Overall, the space was clean, but some areas looked to have been missed. We found some stray hairs in the bathroom (that were not ours) and the shower curtains could’ve used updating/cleaning. It was great having two bathrooms but it was tough to shower in one of the bathrooms as the water pressure was not the best. The fan was also not working in that same bathroom. If you’re going to be mostly out and about in LA during your trip, this airbnb works. It’s pretty bare bones though. There is a lot of potential in this airbnb. The snacks and coffee provided were a great bonus but it would’ve been great if some basic amenities were included, such as body wash (though shampoo and conditioner were provided).
