On the plus side, Edward is a fast-responding host and wasn’t fazed by my flight delay. The home is on a residential street and parking was a challenge. The shared bathroom has a nice skylight and plenty of hot water. Edward provided fresh oranges that were local and delicious. The Red room suffers from house noise, being surrounded in 3 sides by common areas. Mattress was below average. Bathroom had some mold. Kitchen was messy and it wasn’t clear what guests are allowed to use so I ended up eating all meals out. That is pricey in LA. Room had a cracked mirror and an electrical outlet taped together. Neighborhood is a bit dreary. I wish Edward had a written guide with suggestions for local eateries, bars, etc. The local Adams Coffee, for example, is to be avoided. The room has a hostel vibe, but if you need something inexpensive in Culver City it’s a reasonable choice.
