We enjoyed our time at Thomas'--the host was extremely responsive, and walking around this neighborhood was a pleasure. We enjoyed hearing the owls in the evening.
The apartment is cozy, but small: it is a "mother-in-law" apartment, an independent studio unit behind the host's house. Everything is in one space (except the bathroom, obviously). The outdoor spaces are shared with host's family and guests.
The place was clean but not spotless (the linen and towels are stained and well-worn). Nor is the kitchen well-stocked (we had to ask host for something like a cup or a mug--there were only wine glasses--and found a random assortment of condiments left by previous guests). The photographs on AirBnB are dated: the interior and exterior of the place looks nicer than we found it. One has the sense that the place does not receive energetic and careful upkeep; furniture and fixtures are a bit run down. The price of the place was, in all, too high (compared to other similarly priced apartments we have stayed in in LA).
We nonetheless enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed walking to and around the Hollywood Reservoir. This is a beautiful (somewhat unknown) part of the city.
