Stephen was a gracious host. He actually lives in this apartment when no one is renting it and gives it up when he has guests. The apartment is perfectly located near downtown LA (about a 7 minute drive) and has underground, secure parking. Stephen was quick with his responses and met us at the unit to show us around and give us the keys and garage clicker. He even had fresh, warm cookies available at check in. The ability to check out late (7pm) the following day was very useful as well. Stephen also gave us some local information about restaurants that was extremely helpful.
The unit itself is fairly small and dated, as shown in the photos, but it was perfectly fine if you aren't planning to stay there much. It was fun having the lights all over the place. We didn't use the kitchen or TV. My biggest issue was with the bed. Obviously some people like the feeling of "floating on a cloud" (as one reviewer put it), but to me the bed was the softest (least supportive) I have ever experienced. If you have bad backs like we do and want support, this is not the bed for you. We ended up flipping around and sleeping with our heads at the foot to try to get some more support. Also it's obvious that people usually sleep on one side, because it was much lower than the other side.
As others have said, the hot water heater is very small. We tried to take a bath and got about 3 inches of water in the tub before the hot water ran out. The towels and linens were sparkling clean and soft, but it would've been nice to have more than a single hand towel.
