Ciara's place was very clean, and the self-check in via the keypad was extremely convenient. Ciara was also very quick to respond--both to my last minute reservation and to my message, while there, asking whether it was safe to walk around the neighborhood at night. The space was well-designed and the neighborhood quiet, although it's not the best neighborhood in LA---if you want to be walking distance from lots of cute restaurants and coffee shops, this is not the place (the only nearby coffeeshop was a Starbucks about a mile away). I was there just for work and found it convenient to be fairly close to LAX. My only very minor gripes were that the shower didn't get as hot as I would have wished on a cold morning, and it felt a little strange to be asked to take out all the trash yourself even while paying a $45 cleaning fee, but nonetheless if I needed to be in the area for work I would consider staying again.
