Check-in: My sister and I stayed during Memorial weekend. Joycelyne was super accommodating even though we arrived after midnight. She gave us easy to follow directions to locate the bedroom.
Location: Great location. We went to The Getty and the Hollywood Bowl during our stay. The location was very central to where we went. Joycelyne said she lives very close to Ryan Gossling and a few other movie stars. My sister and I ended up driving around the neighborhood in hopes that we would see him. Haha. We didn't see anyone famous, although we did see beautiful homes.
Wifi/cell phone service: We had to request the wifi password in order to get connected. One of her roommates provided us the password. I wasn't able to get any cell phone service, but my sister had one bar (we both have AT&T, go figure).
Accommodations: I wasn't expecting a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and towels in the room. It was very sweet and an unexpected addition.
Bed: The mattress is heavily worn. The mattress dips right in the middle. We were able to sleep okay the first night (probably because we had driven over 5 hours to reach her home), but after that first night it was difficult for us to sleep comfortably since we kept sliding towards the middle of the bed. The sheets and pillows were clean.
Safety: She lives in a incredibly safe area. We parked our cars across the street and I felt safe leaving items in the car in the evening. Her roommates seemed nice and respectful.
Bathroom: Small and clean. There was a hint of a urine smell in the air when we arrived (I'm assuming from the previous guest). When we aired out the bathroom in the evening, the smell dissipated.
Overall, the room and location served its purpose for us. We were able to easily access our daytime locations based on her location of the house. Joycelyne was very communicative, which was very much appreciated.
