This was a no frills, very basic space. It was simple as the description said, but it felt a little bit like an old storage shelter that was turned into an airbnb.
The stay was for my daughter as she is currently looking for her apartment and a roommate in Los Angeles. I helped her get checked in so I was able to view the space in-person.
The feedback I am providing below is the same constructive feedback I sent to Tyrone, so this should not be a surprise. I did not ask for a refund or ask to be moved. My main point is to ensure that both hosts/guests have awareness and are honest and constructive because after all this is a business. No matter how much you pay for a space, a basic level of attention is needed.
Pros:
-
Good location
-Has a full size refrigerator
-Has a full-size stove
-Has all of your basic toiletries
-Has all of the pots/pans and items needed to cook and clean
-Quiet area
-Safe neighborhood
-Pretty close to basic necessities/stores/downtown LA
-This location was near a park
Cons:
-The backyard entrance was a little unkempt. There was an old couch on the back patio, the grass was uncut and needs a little TLC
-Needs a new master lock, when we opened the master lock…the door fell off and into the grass. The master lock was filled with water and rust where I had to dig for the key.
-There is no doorknob, so when you unlock the door, you simply turn the key to unlock the door and push. I think a door knob should be considered so it doesn’t feel like we are entering a storage unit.
-There were a ton of spiders throughout my daughters stay. I recommended that they do a spray and get pest control since it is in the backyard.
-The bathroom needs a deep cleaning with the shower stall having dark spots on the ground, I would recommend flip flops when showering
-The place needs to be dusted and vacuumed. Not sure if they haven’t rented it in a while, but it needed a little cleaning.
-Communication was slow
Again, this is a no frills space as mentioned in the description and is a value for the location and space. However, if you’re looking for something more comfortable and inviting, I would look into another airbnb. This definitely depends on your level of comfort. Safe travels!
