Cliff is a very responsive and accommodating host. The Hideaway is well equipped with many items like a stack of disposable aluminum pans, a laptop, good Wifi reception and Roku, a notepad and pen, a good stereo system with usb and phone connections, and a Keurig type coffee maker. There is adequate storage. It is conveniently located. For example it is near the mall in Glendale, Griffith Park, and downtown Los Angeles and there is a Starbucks next door. It was quiet and peaceful.
The stovetop and oven (which looked like it was fairly new) were clean, as were the kitchen sink and counters, and the main area of the apartment. However, the refrigerator needed a good wipe down and the bottom of the shower did not look clean. As one approaches the apartment, the general area looks grungy but once you get inside, apart from feeling a bit dark, the apartment is fine. The bathroom and shower are small and we needed to keep the fan on because it was musty and there is no window. The bathroom towels are black and white or bright colored towels would be better for guests.
