As this is a shed-like building in the back of the property, i didn’t feel safe, despite the n

I needed a door key code for this property. I had to get Travelocity involved to get a response from the hotel then the hotel finally emailed me the information I needed. As soon as I entered the property I tripped over a 4" rise in the floor level. The smoke detector battery was missing. Local Fire and Safety Codes require every room for rent to be equipped with a working smoke detector - This property is in violation of these Codes. TV - Not worth watching with the ROKU/Sling TV setup they have. Why not have a Terrestrial Off The Air HD TV antenna set up so you could watch Network TV, Weather and Sports? And that is free for the owner. I missed the LA Dodgers Baseball World Series Playoff. Wi-Fi - They offered 2 sources. The strong signal had no connectivity to the Internet. The signal which had Internet connectivity was so weak it was not worth using. I ended up using my iPhone as a hot-spot - At MY expense. Air Conditioning - Did not work. It comes on every 10 minutes and runs exactly 16 seconds then shuts off. Ice Maker - Did not work. It seems like it is not connected to the water supply. Dimming lights - There are 5 bulbs on the main circuit - 4 bulbs would dim, but the 5TH bulb remains at full illumination. Go Figure! On the plus side the property was clean and quiet, and the beds were very comfortable. A little more attention to details on the owner's part would make this a great place to stay.

It was okay and served my purpose. Loved laundry! And the location.

So let me start by saying google maps will totally lead you to another street with exactly the same name a few miles away. That's really annoying, so beware! So this little property is a guest cottage in the back of somebody's house in a typical kind of rundown L.A. neighborhood wedged between freeways. Yes there's an outdoor area with a barbecue and some chairs and a table or whatever. They strung some Christmas lights up, kind of sad. There's trash and recycling bins and cobwebs and an old car parked in the driveway and well, stuff like that. No offense it's just not a high quality kind of adventure. Fine if you're a more casual type, and I am provided it's the right casual, and this ain't. Also, it's not within walking distance of the beach, but of course being in walking distance to anything in LA is a long shot. So yeah I do love Santa Monica but basically, I'd stay elsewhere.

Comfortable, quiet and simple. Parking was not hard to get and we will be back. We enjoyed the cleanliness and the simplicity of the stay.

I stayed with my husband and daughter at the studio for 6 nights. We love it! The house has good beds, big fridge laundry and everything to make your stay comfortable We also used the barbaque To improve: WiFi- signal at the studio is very poor.

Great neighborhood, and great pictures. However place was not clean, not well organized, and not as nice as the pictures represent. Overall, not terrible, but still far from advertised.

the photo in the website is not the same as the property and the ad for the property says free parking but after renting you will get an email that its a bungalow at the back and you cant go on the drive way and you cant park as well.you have to go to the side street to park the vehicle and the ad says premium bedding but in fact its a very uncomfortable piece of foam on springs so its quiet uncomfortable.pillows are bad as well.the floor is dirty and non carpeted so you cannot roam around bare footed.

Hard to contact the owner. You can not park on the driveway at all. Dirty, moldy bathroom. Super ugly and moldy shower curtain.The bed looked like someone slept in it. Hair was in the bed and in the bathroom. Dirty floor, spiders. Not sure when was the last time when it was cleaned out.Do not recommend this place! How even it has a good rating??

Lack of space for more than 2 people, beds are too big for the place and extremely noisy. The place is close to Santa Monica, 3 metro stations away. Backyard, BBQ conditions very poor, terrible chairs to sit on, no grass. Possibly OK for younger travellers looking for a budget, however still expensive for what it offers.

Absolutely perfect location and size, thank you! Will probably be back, would definitely like the separate info to contact for friends.

I think it would be great to stay in the house. Here are the issues we had with being in the back. 1. The photos border on fraud, making the room look like there's space to move. This is a room that should have 1 bed, not 2. 2. There wasn't enough cutlery. 3. There weren't enough dishes. 4. There weren't enough towels, and the ones present were old and dingy. 5. The A/C until was inadequate, so the room was always muggy. 6. The linens were still in the dryer when we got there. 7. The area outside the entry was filthy, but the photos make it look like you can have people over for barbecues. 8. People in the back are not allowed to park there, not even on the street in front of the house. You are relegated to a side street that isn't even adjacent. You do get the parking privilege to load and unload, though. 9. We were scrambling to be out by 11 because we were cleaning it up a little. My husband closed the door at 11:05 just as the cleaning crew pulled up to block our exit. A little punishment for not leaving soon enough? The kids and I were in the driveway with the open-trunked car, too, so that move seemed quite unnecessary. 10. We forgot to log out of Netflix, and no one logged us out. People continued to watch with our account. It should be standard for all Netflix-enabled properties to double-check for guest logout, understanding the possible chaos of the checkout process. Our whole trip was negatively affected by this rental.

One of the worst communicators on our entire trip to So. California. We had to reach out to the owner MULTIPLE times before he FINALLY sent us our check-in information just prior to arrival. It caused unnecessary stress for us while on vacation.

I needed an inexpensive place to stay in Santa Monica, CA for one night. When I searched the hotels.com I found a special rate of $99. After entering my cc info I was shocked to see a total of $213. Buried in the fine print is a tax fee of $113. Worst part... it was non refundable! After using Hotels.com for many years I was very disappointed with their lack of clearly posting their “Special Rates.”

1. The picture shows the main house but the property is in the backyard 2. When we entered the room, the bed was not done. Looks like someone before slept and then left and no cleaning was done. 3. Trash was not cleared in the kitchen and restroom. 4. The bed is extremely soft and you sink in and your back hurts the next day. Highly recommend to look for a different place so your trip stays memorable.

JEWEL is an absolute jewel! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, as it is an oasis. The location was perfect, as it is conveniently located near Santa Monica and close to shops. I will most certainly return. Thank you for a beautiful stay JEWEL.

This "hotel" does not fit everyone. Well situated but beware of the strong cancellation policy. A simple gardenhouse in a not so well taken care of garden was our first impression. For more than 2 persons, the space will be to small. Only a small table with two tablechairs. The kitchen was poorly equiped, with a bad stove and only one saucepan for cooking. No teaspoons and dinnerknifes or slicers and more.. Only two tumblers, 2 koffecups and so on. The beds were creaky and slips in the frontdoor. We had to take care of laundry from the former guest and was asked to wash our bedding before leaving. We will not return to this accommodation.

We stayed here while on a college tour trip. This place was perfect for our family. Quiet neighborhood, Walking distance to several restaurants, and very comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again if we come back to visit.

A little hidden gem! I had an early doctors appointment down the road and this was the perfect location. The owner was very nice and helpful. I felt very safe and the room was clean and well maintained. It has a little kitchen, bathroom, even a washer/dryer. Will definitely be staying again when I need to be in LA!

The sace was convient, private, had good instructions and a good value. I’d gladly stay again.

This is not a hotel but more like an Airbnb place. it is a separate building behind a house about 20 minutes from the beach, It is a 5 minutes walk to the new Metro line and for $1.75 you can go anywhere in LA. The room is small with a kitchen, 2 queen beds, a table. Kitchen has a full-size frig/freezer,microwave, DW and some dishes. Parking is on the side streets. There is no staff

Quiet residential neighborhood that you can drive in one direction and be at the best beach in minutes. Go in the other direction you are in Beverly Hills. The room is very clean as if personal care were taken to clean and stock the room with what you needed. Loved it. I was a little worried that it did not have a dedicated parking space but was always able to find a space on either Tennessee or Carmelina everytime. I will stay there again.

this is a minimal space that is located in the most convenient part of LA that has all necessary utilities on site. I am grateful for the stay.

It was great nice and clean next to all the attractions

Great stay very convenient and close to everything, just mins from the beach close to Hollywood. Plenty of room for the family, the only reason I didn't rate the staff high is because since you are staying in a house there is no staff you have more of a home feeling, very nice kitchen you can use and even laundry available !!
