The property didn't have curtains to block sun, air-conditioning in only one room and no water pressure in shower!
The property was never cleaned before we got there multiple food areas were still left out from cooking and grease/oil around cooking areas. The bathroom leaks and has mushrooms growing from the floorboards which was disturbing for the family disguted to be charged a cleaning fee when i left the place cleaner than we arrived.
A handyman to fix a few items Not enough paper goods, towels and silverware Beds were comfy Area is nice
Other reviews seem accurate, both the positive and the negative. On the plus side it’s a nice unit, clean, with a good location, a wonderfully large table, and how often do get a unit with a baby grand piano! Check-in worked exactly as instructed. And it’s really great to get a kitchen with spices, condiments, and other food and ingredients so you don’t end up having to purchase stuff you won’t get through — and can leave some nonperishable stuff yourself instead of having to throw it out when you leave. Some downsides included 1) that you do hear noise from the abutting apartment that seems like it is or used to be part of this one and from upstairs (mostly plumbing, TV, and footsteps, and it didn’t really bother us), 2) the TV in one bedroom did not work for us, 3) we could not find an iron or ironing board, which some travelers really need, and 4) it was a little unclear where to park under the building, and we didn’t want to block someone in or risk getting blocked in ourselves (but for the most part street parking was easy anyway). We did not contact property manager, but that question does not have N/A option.
Overall it was okay… we needed a place to stay that was relatively clean and it was. Just wasn’t what we expected once we got there. Luckily we had plans to be out all day so we basically just came at the end of the day to sleep. When we arrived initially, we tried following what seemed like detailed instructions on how to get in however they were inaccurate. The tenant was able to assist in a timely manner. Parking instructions weren’t clear but the neighbors were kind enough to show us. The walls are VERY thin, it seemed as though the people living in adjacent apartments were in the same room as you. With that, it’s also very dark… the lighting was terrible unlike how it is in the pictures. Make sure to bring your own drinking water. Wanted to drink some water from the fridge system however when looking at it closely, it was very dirty… no thank you. The place smelled odd. Apparently, the pricey cleaning fee only covers the cleaning for the next guests even though we barely touched the place besides the beds and bathroom. Definitely felt micromanaged with the texts. We never really cared to stay too long, we made sure to leave asap in the mornings and come back as late as possible.
Great place for our daughters graduation weekend. A little funky but beds were very comfy. Lots of space. Nice kitchen. The owner stays in a bedroom and bath that is technically part of the apartment but behind a locked door. He was kind and brought us a new coffeemaker when we needed it. The neighbors were congenial. Hope to stay at Zach’s place again soon.
My daughters and I were very excited to be staying in LA but we’re very disappointed when we arrived here. Many promised accommodations did not work. The hosts were very nice, however the overall stay could’ve been much better.
The accommodations were perfect
