The apartment is located in a somewhat seedy neighbourhood, but close to public transport and some Hollywood tourist attractions. It was quiet in the evenings, but with noise from construction work across the street during daytime. Good WiFi and Netflix, but no TV-channels.
Check-in process was easy, the keys were placed in a lockbox. Didn't use the smartphone lock.
The host was helpful and responded fast to messages, but I can’t give this place a 5 star review, it was just too old and filthy.
I don’t understand why so many people say this place is clean. The living room area was nice, looks just like the pictures, but the rest was not so good. Bedroom carpet was dirty and not vacuumed well, sheets had large yellow stains on them, window sills full of dust, cobwebs and dead flies. Kitchen floor dirty, fridge wasn't cleaned and full of expired food, stove and microwave owen dirty. Bathroom really old and drain was full of hair, floor was dirty and so on. Most of the towels were also full of yellow stains and some towels smelled like perfume. I’m not sure what the cleaning crew is paid to do here, but they are not very good at cleaning.
