Very disappointed with my stay at Sam's place. To be fair - Sam was very responsive and handled all the matters that he could quite fast, but I did run into multiple issues to the point where it's hard for me to recommend this place to anyone.
The apartment itself has the most basic furniture. The pictures are accurate and give you a good sense of what to expect, which is the absolute minimum. It doesn't feel like a "home", it's pretty clear nobody ever lived there. TV also pretty old, so forget about Netflix. I even tried to connect my laptop using HDMI and failed.
I have mixed feelings regarding the location which isn't great. Sure it's West Hollywood, but you're also seeing tents in the streets all around you. I've stayed in another place in West Hollywood (a little more south west, closer to Melrose) - it was MUCH nicer neighborhood and price wasn't that much higher. Literally a mile away.
Most of the apartment was clean, with the exception of the bathroom. I've found COUNTLESS of hairs around the bathtub and all over the floor - it was just disgusting. I even found a Q-tip on the floor, god knows how it was missed. When I brought it up, Sam offered to send someone to clean the bathroom but didn't offer any discount on the cleaning fee.
I was also missing a trash bin. Again, Sam got someone to bring one quite quickly, but still - you rather have the apartment ready for you, I guess?
And last - WiFi. If it's important for you - DO NOT BOOK THIS APARTMENT. Can't stress this enough. I stayed for 3 days, it worked quite well on the first day, and then it was just horrible for the other two. It would work OK and then super slowly for a while, to the point you can't stream anything etc. I had multiple work related calls that were interrupted and had to switch to audio only and sometimes couldn't even do that. Extremely disappointing. When I mentioned it, he tried to fix it by restarting the access point in the apartment, sometimes it worked OK for a bit, sometimes it didn't do anything. At the end of my trip I asked for some compensation over it and was ignored multiple times.
While Sam does seem like a decent guy who tried to help as much as he could (it's not his apartment, he manage it), at the end of the day - my stay wasn't great, awful value for money ratio, and 0 interest in compensating me. Do yourself a favor, find another apartment.
