Overall, a great place at a great location but lacking in a few areas.
Pros:
- Right off of Hawthorne which was a great area to be in with amazing food and coffee shops nearby. Overall, nice neighborhood and quiet.
- Bed was adequate and the sheets were soft. The water pressure was enough and TV is massive.
-The kitchen is good enough for small meals and enough pots, pans, and utensils were available for use.
-Daniel answers within 30 mins no matter what and is constantly trying to improve, which I really appreciate.
Cons:
-Internet failed consistently. Couldn't use it the first day we were there and was just overall, incredibly slow in terms of regular internet standards found in most other Airbnbs and hotels.
-We could only control the thermostat in the living room but not the bedroom. Adequate instruction was not given on how to control that and at the point that I asked, I had already been asking tons of questions, so I was exhausted with trying to figure it out.
-TV, although massive, was extremely slow.
-We didn't know that the building was going to be behind a co-op or whatever the house was. Saw lots of activity going in and out of the blue house in front of the unit and overall was just a strange experience.
-Just like other reviewers mentioned, the hot water in the shower goes out after 15 minutes, so if you go with someone else who showers during the same time you do, you must do fast showers.
Neutral:
-This place is pretty small. The listing photos are taken in wide lens and therefore make the place look huge but it's quite small. Overall living area sq. footage must be in the 500sqft or 600sq ft range. Was a bit disappointed, but no one is at fault.
-Towels are a bit rough, the bed creaks, and the sheets are thin, but this is neither a pro nor a con since it's subjective.
Overall this place wasn't terrible, hence the 4 out of 5 stars. Would we stay here again? Probably not. But I am not mad about this unit or my experience. No regret at all and overall Daniel was a pleasant person to talk to. If some of these issues can be addressed, it can easily be 5 out of 5 stars.
