the best thing i can say is: what you see is what you get. Is it a bad thing? if all you're looking for is the bare essentials then no. It's suitable for people like me, who used to live in LA, and just needed a cheap, bare essential place to sleep in. The description is accurate - the place is close to a lot of neighborhoods, it's quiet, and safe. The place was clean and you definitely had your own private space. Here are some notes that people should be aware about: 1. Literally there is only one window. it is the sliding door you see. it is also THE MAIN ENTRY DOOR. Before the sliding/entry window door is the little backyard, which is closed off by an outside gate. The gate is locked by a keypad entry, but the gate is relatively low enough that someone can climb over it. Given the great LA weather, I like to sleep with the windows open. However, since this place had one window that served as a main entry door, you can see that I was nervous about leaving the door entirely open. 2. Yes, the unit does have AC, but you cannot control it. If you want it turned on, you have to contact the host, which he can control it remotely. I had no problem sleeping without the AC since it wasn't hot when i stayed, but keep in mind that you cannot control it. 3. I personally found the memory foam topper not that comfortable; it was probably 2" thick, but I was only staying for 2 nights so it wasn't a big problem. 4. If someone was standing in the backyard and the drapes were open, they can see a full view of the bathroom. Just keep that in mind when you're doing your business. But the likelihood of a stranger standing in the backyard is, hopefully, zero. All in all, I had a pleasant stay, the host was responsive through airbnb app, and definitely a lowkey place for a former LA resident like myself. It was just what I needed for my short term visit (2 days). What I listed above are just notes that people should be aware about and not necessarily cons. You see what you get it, what you get is what you want.
