I booked this apartment for one month for a business trip. Overall I found the experience to be disappointing. The apartment was dark, and lacked natural sunlight. The host asked me if it was OK if he showed the apartment to potential renters, to which I agreed, but he later asked me to show the apartment directly. I was a nice guy and agreed to help out, but I regretted it when he asked me to show it to four people over the course of two days. I had to call the host and tell him that it was enough, I wouldn’t help further. Oddly, one of the viewers told me that the host said I was his real estate agent! It left me with a very odd feeling, and had I been there on anything other than business, I would have immediately tried to end my booking early. I was so busy, I just didn’t want to deal with it, so I stayed. Then there was a water leak from the above apartment on the last week I was there, and the host didn’t even contact me until four days afterwards... and he never tried to make it right by me.
Having said all the negatives, the pros of the apartment are that it is conveniently located in a safe area in West Hollywood, the building is clean, safe, and full of friendly people, and the amenities are as described (pool with a jacuzzi, parking garage).
Overall, I had a bad experience and the lack of professional hospitality from the host makes me think that the future guests should be wary about renting from this host.
