First, let me say that the host was very responsive, and the unit had most of what youâd need for a short Hollywood stay. But a few things were hard to overlook.
While the unit overall appeared clean, the shower was the exception. In fact, I had to remove a tangled clump of hair from the drain before using it. The floor of the shower didnât look clean in general. If you did nothing else to the shower as a housekeeper, seems like youâd at least clean the gunk off the drain. That was pretty nasty.
The host gets big kudos for the nice selection of complimentary snacks and drinks provided, as others have noted. But I donât think you can say that a coffeemaker, microwave and mini fridge on/in a cabinet is a kitchenette without having a sink. Maybe a snack station? And the minifridgeâs freezer was iced up BAD. As in totally closed off and unusable. It covered the outside of the freezer compartment so much that it reduced the useable space of the fridge compartment somewhat. Nonetheless, it was usable for keeping a few beverages cold.
Regarding street parking out front, it mostly wasnât available at any time. Do not rely on being able to park near the unit. We were able to find a solitary spot a block away, however.
The unit is listed as having central A/C. But you are occupying the ground floor of the hostâs own residence (we awoke to a dog scurrying across floor of room above) and you cannot adjust the temperature. It was too hot in the eve/night for comfort.
