*make sure you talk with the host about check in arrangements beforehand*
a friend and I arrived at 3 pm (as it states check in time begins in the description), however upon arrival, our calls to the host went straight to voicemail. After a long day if travelling, all we wanted to do was kick our feet up and relax before our planned events for the evening. However we spent an hour calling the host and trying to find out if we got scammed. Finally he calls back, it turned out he was on a business trip to France and we were supposed to contact his assistant to get the key (no mention of the assistant up until this point) finally we get a hold of the assistant and he said the cleaning service won't be done until 6 (original check in was 3!!) And we continue to have communication issues with the assistant. Absolute nightmare and it completely put a damper on our evening in LA as we had plans at 6:30 and spent the evening scrambling around trying to get into our room instead of relaxing after a stressful day of travelling.
That being said, the room itself was lovely.
