Charming 1-bedroom house in Rosemead with WiFi and AC

First, I rarely, if ever, leave a negative review. As such I will convey my experience here. Communication: After booking, we received a generic welcome greeting. I later asked a more specific question asking about outlets for plugging in my hybrid car, if available. That was left unanswered. After several days, I reached out again to inform of my arrival plans and if there were any specific instructions. He replied, I'll update tomorrow. The following day came, and we received the check-in instructions but again without answering my initial question. Check-In: This part was the easiest part of the whole stay. It was very easy to get in. Instructions were clear. The Living Space: Unfortunately, the property was quite unpleasant. Literally every wall had some sort of mark or scuff, a knob on the stove was missing, the kitchen faucet was totally loose with the air trap being only an appendage, there were no towel racks in the bathroom leaving us to hang out towels in the kitchen, there was mold in the shower, and we noticed smoke detectors and Carbon monoxide detectors but were present. My partner and I questioned the cleanliness if the remaining space and didnt feel comfortable sitting on the couch. The bed sheets were clean, but thats a bare minimum. Contacting VRBO and the Host: We reached out refund on cleaning fees provided the feedback as above. However we were left radio-silent. No solution was offered by the host. I can't recommend this place.

Very cute and comfy

It’s a really cute place to share as a couple. Perfect amount of space, easy parking, and all things you would deem necessary for a short trip like a full kitchen, bathroom, and ac.

Gorgeous views of the San Gabriel mountains. Easy access to shopping. Nicely equipped kitchen, though a dining table and chairs would make it even more useful.

As an LA native, I’ll keep it this place is a steal for the price. The PRIVACY, VIEWS and QUIET neighborhood alone are worth more than what you pay. Plus, the local restaurants are solid, and you can get to the city in under 30 minutes without traffic.That said, the biggest drawback is the upkeep. I’d gladly pay an extra 50–100 per night if a proper cleaning service kept the place looking like the photos. The decor has potential, but details like dust on the bathroom ceiling vents, an uncomfortable bed, and a small, awkward couch make the stay underwhelming. My family even kept their socks on because the floors didn’t feel clean.To be fair, the host is very responsive, and communication was seamless. But this place is missing out on its full potential. Realistically, as the listing states… it’s best suited for two people, and anything beyond a three-day stay might start to feel a bit off.Would I book again? For a short trip, absolutely. But if the cleaning situation doesn’t improve, longer stays could be a tough sell.So much potential!!!
