The communication with the landlord is dreadful. He seemed to have a "pre-written" LOOOOONG reply to all his guests. He sent this LOOOOONG copy-paste reply to me, using a passcode to enter the property that it wasn't working anymore. When we get to the property, we could not get in, which in the end it turned to be a good thing, as the place is infested by mosquitos. So we founded a nice hotel to spend our 4 days in Los Angeles, with much better infra-structure and cheaper!!! Also he lied saying that there is parking space which HAS NOT! The only available space is for the front property, not for the annex.

Great location. Property and furnishings not in great shape

The location was excellent for visiting friends in the área. Very comfortable for 1 person, even 2. Walking distance to both Pico and Bundy for buses, restaurants, small businesses, banks, etc. Also walking distance to Expo/Bundy metro station, Nice, quiet neighborhood perfect for what I needed. Check in instructions are very clear and timely. Ron, the manager, answers all questions promptly. Good AC and heated bathroom is quite the luxury. I´ll certainly return when I visit the area again.

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.

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.

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.”

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!
