The apartment is very cute inside. The hosts provide everything you could need for a short stay! They had several basic food items in the refrigerator and the pantry so you don’t need to pack everything! The bed was comfortable, and our son loved the pullout bed on the couch by the TV. The extra towels for the pool came in handy, so did the first aid kit when we had a little cut that needed tending to. The plus sides are great hosts, Cute and homey setting, many extras in the home available, and close distance to Universal and L.A in general. Cons: there are 3 flights of stairs to get up to the apartment so if you have a lot of stuff, or a disable family member, it’s a huge pain to carry things up and down. Parking is also not great- it’s a covered stall behind a huge pile of “stuff” the owners need to get rid of so if your car is larger the butt sticks out quite a bit, It’s also detached from the apartment so you have to walk around to get in. The A/C is a very loud wall unit that works great but is super loud and only really cools the living area and not the bedroom. And lastly the area is aged, while the apartment is adorable the complex and surrounding homes/business are run down and kind of dodgy. We didn't feel super safe at night. There was a lot of police activity the week we stayed which was just steps from the door to the complex.
