We arrived to The Roost at night which made finding the entrance rather challenging, but once inside the cozy, well lit space appeared as advertised. Great location and walkable to Venice, Abbot Kinney, and Santa Monica. Awesome proximity to many bars, restaurants, and shops. Central location to take in LA and it’s beaches. Added bonus of being only a short ride from LAX. Spacious backyard with sitting areas for entertaining.
A few issues... upon arrival, the toilet would not flush and there were dozens of ants on the kitchen counters, bathroom floors, and even bed sheets throughout our stay. When host Kirk was contacted about these issues, his response was that they are our friendly neighbors. He kindly instructed us to reattach the chain in the back of the toilet, after fixing this ourselves we did not have any further issues.
Overall great location, however, expected more cleanliness and hospitality for the price tag.
