Sorry for readers if this review comes off a big long but I want to give my full description of this apartment so other travelers can use the information to choose if this place is the best fit for them. Although my stay was good I personally was disappointed as I had thought I had chose a place that was better. I found my stay had both some good qualities and bad and hope I can portray them accurately for others travellers help. So i think by listing pros and cons might be the easiest way.
Pros:
Bed (super comfortable)
Location (easy travel to major tourists spots, Santa monica, venice beach, beverly hills, hollywood and more all within 20-30 mins)
Spacious
Stocked kitchen
Clean
Easy communication
Easy check in/check out
Walk to grocery store (if needed, was useful to us)
Cons
Inaccurate/old photos (My biggest concern with this listing is i personally think the photos seem outdated. The apartment seemed more worn or lived in then the photos make it appear. Makes it seem like the photos were taken when new. Floors did not look as nice, different carpets, chipped paint, cracked patio stones in back a few other minor things too. By no means was it in bad shape but definitely not as nice as the photos as i had hoped. )
Parking (there are 3 parking spots in back however parking there does not leave room for both driver and passenger doors to open. Too small for 3 cars, i drove a ford mustang so not big, you can see marks against walls from constant doors hitting it)
Air conditioning (when selecting this place i inquired about the AC since i was staying in August. Upon entering the apartment we turned on the AC in both the living room and bedroom as the apartment was obviously quite hot. We quickly found out that both units could not be used at once as this caused a power outage by tripping a breaker. They do have fans in both rooms however i personally would not have selected to stay here if I had known that i could not use airconditioning throughout the apartment.
Overall this place I am sure would be a great fit for many travellers however i would not stay here again and I expected it to be a bit nicer. The hosts were easy to deal with and constantly in touch if need be.
