Unfortunately I did not have an excellent stay as so many of the other guests report. There is no denying that Dino is friendly and VERY accomodating, his home is in a gorgeous area of LA with great views and outdoor space to enjoy.
I was only staying with a friend for one night to attend a concert at the Greek, so we wanted a stay closeby to sleep. I knew this stay would be small but I didn't realize that it was tiny, maybe 50 square feet? My friend is 5'7" and her feet hung off the bed (full-size).
However, that is not my issue. This place felt dirty, and I didn't realize the extent until we were back from the concert in the early morning hours, or I would have addressed this immediately.
When we went to make up the bed (which requires disassembling the couch, which was covered in too much oil), the pillowcases were stained, as were some of the towels. We covered the pillowcases with some towels and our own tees, but the pillows themselves were lumpy and uncomfortable, and the bed was also hard and uncomfortable.
This was bad but the worst was when I woke up to a sewer smell in the night, I'm not sure if it was coming from our bathroom or somewhere outside. It was highly unpleasant.
When I reported this to Dino a few days later (my first opportunity due to moving and traveling) he completely denyed any sewer issues and said that we must have slept on the pillowcases first and then blamed him for it. So that was special.
All in all, many people seem to enjoy this property. I was shocked to have this experience for all the good reviews posted.
