Pros: Zach’s place is in a great location right by the beach! There is a 2 mile paved or beach walk to the Hollywood boardwalk and he provided beach chairs, towels, and an umbrella. He provided free water bottles, check in was easy, communication was clear and the space was clean. Having a full size fridge/freezer was great and basic utensils were provided with a small electric hot plate, coffee maker, etc.
Cons: This space is listed as an entire studio apartment which is a bit misleading. The only thing separating our space from the guests next door was a bedroom door with a space beneath and a table pushed against it. Therefore, we could hear them talking and two of the three nights we were kept up well past 2am with the loud conversations and noise from the patio and the room next door. Also, the blinds don’t keep out the light from the patio. The provided serving plate had salt and oil on it as if it was used for chips. This wasn’t that bad, because a clean sponge and dish soap was provided. Finally, the microwave was unplugged with a cord that did not reach the outlet.
If you are looking for an affordable option with a great location, this is your place! But, if you want a dark and quiet place to rest at night, this place would be a hit or miss depending on the other guests.
