THE MOST HONEST REVIEW YET:
So we stayed there for a full month and I think I have the proper review of the spot!
OVERALL the place was “alright” but very very bare minimum. Personally, if I had known, this wouldn’t have been my choice for a month long stay. Decent spot for a week but even then I would probably find something in West Hollywood 🤭
This is unbiased opinion and solely compared against the average amenities in a modern apartment for the price paid!
LOCATION: Honestly, it’s a lot closer to DTLA than I thought but avoid peak time driving!! (After work)
Roughly about a 12-18min drive to DTLA &
a 23-30 min drive to Hollywood Strip/West Hollywood/Beverly Hills
&
About a 30-45 min (off peak time) drive to Santa Monica Pier/Venice Beach. (Peak time could be up to 1h20m!)
HOUSE AMENITIES (PLEASE READ):
If you’re reading this you probably already noticed there isn’t a dishwasher!
There’s a drying rack but it’s VERY calcified which was a little icky so we covered it in paper towel.
Speaking of which, we were supplied with ONE roll of paper and THREE rolls of toilet paper for the month so we had to buy more!
We attempted to cook and using the oven BUT THERE WERE NO OVER MITTS. There’s one pan, one REALLY big pot and one really small pot and the can opener was rusted lol. Also the Spatula is a bit melted and THERE’S NO TOASTER?!? VERY bare minimum for cutlery and dishes even tho the place states it could house 6 people—glad we were just 2!
We were also only given 2 large garbage bags for the whole month and had to buy more as well.
Fridge also oddly rolls forward on its own??? Idk if the spot was built on some kind of slight slant lol, anyway..
Smart TV is dope and already aha all the main connections! So that was good!
There were no extra Pillows either…. :)
CLEANLINESS:
All the outdoor furniture was really dirty and dusty: tables, chairs, fire pit (that didn’t work) there were a lot of cob webs in the closet and next to the bed on the first day too. Only 6 hangers in the closet lol.
The BATHROOM/SHOWER STALL… I have no idea why but it continuously SMELT BAD. We tried putting baking soda, soap & tea tree oil down the drain and THE SMELL. WOULD. NOT. LEAVE. It’s also really small: prepare the elbow and knee bumps lol
Living room was really spacious which was great!! We were able to even working out in there but the couch was full of crumbs prior to us even being there!
Note: front window doesn’t lock!
PARKING:
The Carport is kind of a scam, sorry. It’s pretty difficult drive into and you can literally park right in front of it. The neighborhood is friendly and decent spaced for parking.
LAUNDRY:
There are a bunch nearby between 3-10 mins away (driving).
COMMUNICATION:
Terry is good at responding for sure! Helped us retrieve a package and the details for getting into the spot were crystal clear!!
All in all this place wasn’t the greatest and wasn’t the worst. It isn’t a horror story house but definitely not the best Airbnb I’ve ever been in. Just be prepared to buy a few things for the house if you plan on staying there for 2 or more weeks!!
Great place for a week/end get away!
WILL NEED CAR REGARDLESS—ITS LA BABY!
Thx again Terry!!
