Don’t book. 2 STARS. Just don’t book it. If you want more details read the rest of the review.
The dishes were not clean. The organization of the kitchen utensils was unsafe. Loose knives in the drawers.
Had a hairdryer which didn't work. No shampoo. Good hot water with good water pressure. Had ONE ROLL of toilet paper. No cable tv. Had a roku with a broken remote, which made it extremely difficult to even use the tv. THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATER DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THE CEILING FAN ALSO DIDNT WORK. I WAS FREEZING PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE NIGHT. SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. I'm pretty sure this "studio apartment" was a garage that was made into an apartment. I'm also pretty sure that there is no insulation in the walls because it was extremely hot during the day and super cold at night. They did not tell me the WIFI password. They also were unreachable by phone. I barely caught the owner 2 days into my stay and got the wifi password. The kitchen didn't have a pan. The silverware was dirty. THE PARKING WAS HORRENDOUS. The parking space was through a tiny driveway smushed between two buildings. Having to do 25 shift changes in a "u-turn" was terrible. Especially for 5 days. The room was pleasant enough to look at. The fridge was nice. I liked how I felt safe here. However, the parking and the cold completely ruined my stay. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The building on the property was also under construction until late at night. Loud noises when you are trying to relax. Also, the owner repeatedly blocked the driveway on the 3-5th days and was made a fuss when I asked to be let in. I am not coming back.
The check-in itself wasn't good either. I showed up at 4pm and They were still working on cleaning the space. He told me to come back in 15 to 20 minutes. I was baffled. I feel that its the making of a good host to have a space ready for your tenant before the tenant arrives. I waited in the car for 20 minutes and then came back to them finishing the room. The man gave me the key and left. No problem there. He neglected to tell me the wifi password and that I would be sharing the small space with several cars.
Several days before I tried contacting the host to double-check my check-in time. No response. On the day of I tried to call the host. No response. I don't understand why it was so difficult for them to give instructions. Trying to check-in and having to search for the apartment and the host wasn't fun.
I hated the parking space. I also hated the location of the Airbnb. Having to pull into the tight driveway and pull out wasn't fun. The street was also very small and was clear for both directions. Driving down it and having to pull into a random person's driveway to let someone through wasn't fun. That was not the host's fault. Just a quick add-on. The location of the street was fine. Being off of Glenoaks boulevard was nice.
