We were disappointed about our stay. We expected a cosy/comfortable place but it wasn't as great as we expected it to be.
Trying to do an objective review, here are the pros and cons, according to us:
Pros:
- Self-check-in
- Parking spot
- Washing machine
Cons:
- Bed and pillows really uncomfortable
- Isolation of warm/cold is pretty bad: there was an A/C but very loud so we had to turn it off before going to bed and we were waking up sweating from the heat
- Isolation of light: it's daylight in the room as soon as the sun shines, so don't expect to sleep well.
- Isolation of sound: you can hear the loud neighbour A/C running all night, it's like sleeping next to a truck.
- The place is separated into 2 small rooms. We didn't notice that from the pictures, you need to go outside to get into the kitchen. Not very convenient.
- There was a fridge in the room but not working. Thankfully there was another fridge working in the other room (but need to cross outside to get anything).
- There is no table to eat at, except one outside. Unfortunately, when we stayed it rain for 2 days so we couldn't use it.
- Location: pretty far from all the tourist places, with L.A. traffic we needed 40min to 1h30min to go anywhere!
- There was road work in the street which stopped you from crossing the street. While this is not the host's fault, a warning would have been nice because no turnout was possible. Also in general parking entrance is very narrow, and tricky with a sedan.
In general, we wouldn't recommend the place if you stay more than one or two nights. Also, if you want to visit L.A. it's better to find something closer if you don't want to spend your day driving. We're sorry to give a bad review but that's how we felt during our stay.
