Jonathan is a nice enough host and his communication is good but I’m not sure I would recommend this apartment to a friend.
It’s not very clean, there’s a weird smell that hits you as soon as you step through the door and there were broken windows with smashed glass in two rooms. The front door is a nightmare to close as it’s old and the locks are aligned correctly. Also, if you’re looking for rest and relaxation this is not the place to stay as the dogs downstairs bark throughout the day and night.
With a few minor renovations this place could be very cute - it’s spacious and the beds in both rooms are comfortable. And although it’s not located in the nicest area it is close to most things you’d want. Cabs to Hollywood, the art district and downtown were between $5 - $15 in a Lyft (it’s like Uber).
