The pros are (1) location - walkable to coffee shops, restaurants plus easy to drive to other places (2) parking, plenty of space for multiple cars off street if you need (3) pool/outdoor space - we didn't use because of the weather but it's a large area that I imagine would be great in summer. Disappointments were (1) quality of appliances - there was an "antique" stove that we could only get one burner working, the oven door kept coming open - we tried to make dinner for friends but it was a huge struggle (2) the sink blocked up constantly (3) the wifi was slowish - shows we watched buffered constantly (4) minor things that cumulate up - we had to buy dishwashing tablets, there was no oven gloves, the towels were oldish. None of these are huge in themselves but overall not the experience I expect for the price. Maybe that's just what one gets in L.A. but at $500/night generally I'd expect higher overall quality. Ashton was polite, etc - nothing against him, he was nice
