A Mixture of Fair to Good
I will start with the positive information. The location was good--walking distance to Melrose Street and Santa Monica Avenue. There was a place for parking, although it was a tight squeeze and I would suggest having a smaller car. The kitchen was fine, with relatively new appliances. The shower was great--nice and strong. The bed was comfortable and clean.
When we arrived and walked in, it was warm and humid. The stench of cat was awful. There was only an air conditioner in the living room that did not reach down the hall to the bedroom. Underneath the air conditioner was a wall that looked like it had been repaired from a leak and was not painted over. When we contacted the owner about the air, he answered quickly and said he would add a portable in the bedroom. That helped considerably and kept things cool and the cat odor down. Wet linen had been placed in the drier and were moldy, which was also rectified.
There was no welcome package to greet us (although his wife/partner said she would leave one), so we did not know how to use the TV, stove or livingroom air conditioner. The person who came by with the new air conditioner helped us with our questions. Eventually, we were able to watch programs and cook.
There were very few amenities. No lamps in the livingroom. I'm glad we brought extension cords.
I believe that this was an apartment that was quickly put up for Vrbo without giving it much thought. If we had not objected to the situation, it would remain the way it was when we came in. I would check it out or have someone check it out before staying there...again, the cat smell was awful--and I've had cats. We have stayed in LA numerous times and have many places to compare for the same price. This was a disappointing.
Since the location is very central and safe, the owner could do some repair work on the place and it would raise his rating considerably.
