I stayed in the property for a casual vacation in LA with some friends. Check-in was very smooth, and the property looked promising as we settled in. However, throughout the stay, we ran into several issues:
- The furniture was not in great condition - we could see stains on the sofa and dining table
- We were disappointed to see the main dining table was simply a fold out table, which was not easy to see from the pictures due to the tablecloth. Even the tablecloth was not provided during our stay
- One of the bathroom toilets did not flush properly
- One of the bedroom doors and closets were broken
- The floor throughout the property was extremely dirty. If you don't wear shoes indoors, your feet will get dirty from walking around inside
- Some of the glasses/cups were chipped
- The hairdryer in the bathroom did not work
- The internet in the place was pretty unreliable. It's 2021 and we couldn't load Youtube videos without buffering
- The provided parking garage was not easy to get in and out, but this was less of an issue because there was generally a lot of street parking available
- It wasn't clear from the listing that the property is essentially split into 2 neighboring units. Though not the owner's fault, we would often smell marijuana from the neighbors, and had some problems getting in and out of the garage when they blocked the driveway
- We were asked to clean used dishes and take out garbage. Normally, this isn't significant, but combined with the stained furniture and dirty floors, we didn't really understand why we were paying a cleaning fee
These issues were mostly minor inconveniences, but added up, they made the stay feel somewhat cheap despite the price, so we did not feel like we got the value we paid for.
That being said, the location is extremely nice for those looking to stay and do things in KTown. We rarely had to drive more than 30 minutes to any destination. Management was also super responsive to any questions and made us feel welcome!
