The pro's- the Hollywood sign! The view from the Huxley is great, along with the balcony! The washer and dryer came in handy. The studio is very specious and it was nice to spread out coming from hotels in other destinations. The apartment itself was great.
The con’s- the check in and check out process takes you about a half hour. After being exhausted after driving down the coast, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a little frustrating or inconvenient waiting for Carlos to let us in a half hour later than the agreed upon check in time. There was occasional loud yelling outside of the apartment every now and then. But the worst of it, was within the apartment complex through the night. Lots of yelling in the abutting stairwell all hours of the night. Additionally, the bed wasn’t great. It reminded me of one from a pull out couch. This in combination with the yelling did not make this a convenient stop amongst our drive down the coast. There was no iron or ironing board, which isn’t listed in the description of the AirBnB so that’s on me, but a helpful suggestion for this listing. Lastly, I’m not sure who maintains the grounds of the complex, but there was a dead rat outside the complex doors for the length of our stay.
This is an incredible booking for the heavy sleeping, experienced traveler. The view is exceptional and the apartment has all of the space and amenities you might need. Check in and out was just a bigger to do than we would have preferred.
