We spent 4 nights in this place, enjoying LA with my husband and 6 y.o. kid. As for the pros: it’s nice, spacious apartment, rather clean, but too much freshener, which really was heavy especially with closed windows during daytime, but it’s personal preference for each, good building, close to downtown, but not it.
Cons:
- check in took about an hour, trying to figure out what entrance to go, sending location’s picture and detailed description where Google took us, which turned out later that we were on one of the parking lot of that building and the host just had to come down on an elevator, instead we stood there all that time, and with lack of English they couldn’t tell where to go. And while we were waiting outdoor all that time there were a lot of addicts and suspicious people going around.
- check out: we agreed with the host to meet at the lobby, but 10 mins later noone comes and no texts or calls, and with waiting taxi for airport, and finally reaching the host we had to go back to an apartment to leave keys there instead.
- And the most disappointment was that swimming pool is not heated. I specifically asked about that before booking, and the host ensured me it was heated. Turned out it’s cold, and there is just a heated tub, used by other people throwing shampoo into it. So we disdained to join. And our daughter was waiting half a year to swim and dive in a pool, but again because of careless attitude of hosts we were mislead.
- After returning I emailed the owner and asked for a compensation for the incorrect info about swimming pool that was crucial for us, but had no response, which makes me believe that they deliberately hid the truth, very disappointed.
- Would not recommend the place at any cost, and I should say that it was a rip off to pay $800 for 4 nights in that place considering all.
