I’ve been used Airbnb since 2016, and so far I had great experience only except for this property. It was nightmare and horrible experience to stay this property. This unit is 170$, there are many hotels 190$ in front of beach. So this is not even budget friendly. I won’t never recommend this unit to my friends for their sanity.
1) You will not stay the house on the second photo with nice front garden. You will stay the back side of this house with other units, meaning there is noise every morning ( there is a baby beside of this unit) They said there is no problem since they indicates ‘private unit’. But seriously, if see the house with front garden as a cover image and say ‘private unit’ 90% will think they will stay the same photo of the house (but it’s not) And so far, my experiences with other properties on airbnb, I had NO problem, they were exact same properties that on their cover.
2) I got cold from day one due to cold room with tiny heather, and their wall heater was not working. It was extremely cold night on Feb LA. They provided me another tiny heater. The two tiny heater made room extremely dry, and not circulated, so if I turned off, it got too cold. I requested extra blanket (they don’t have any extra blanket) they gave me my last day of vacation. During a week vacation LA, it was really hard to nice cozy sleep. It was literally disaster.
3)I got bug bite after first night. It seems like there is a bed bug. After first night, i found bug bite on my neck, and I got cold, I had to buy and take nyquil.
It was my first trip in LA, and whenever I remind this airbnb, I feel anger. If it was nice price, I will take this inconvenience. But this is not budget friendly even. Now I’m not sure about using airbnb after experiencing this horrible trip.
