Great location. The host provided detailed information about the unit and parking and was responsive to questions and suggestions. The unit provided all the basics we needed for our short stay.

There was a lot of traffic on Huntington Blvd. because it's a major thoroughfare to and from Downtown Los Angeles.The property manager responded to all my questions, making check-in and checkout smooth. ##### Frances S. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura H. 9 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So Pas apartment This is an apartment in an older building on Huntington Blvd. it has been refurbished and is very nice. The location is convenient to downtown LA as well as Pasadena and the San Gabriel valley. We had expected noise from Huntington (it’s a busy street) but not to hear so much noise from the upstairs apartment. Perhaps carpeting would help with that. Nonetheless we enjoyed the stay. ##### Laura H.

Great communication from the owner. ##### Curtis Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce D. 18 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy I didn't realize that this unit was part of a four-plex (actually two four-plexes - side by side) with a parking lot at the back. That said, our downstairs unit access was great - check in was a breeze and the owner stayed in touch and answered questions. The unit had everything we needed, including the basics in the kitchen, a massive washer/dryer, excellent air conditioning and comfortable beds. There was a green grassy area for kids or pets off the parking lot and a lovely porch on the Huntington Drive side of the unit. If you're bringing a dog, the neighborhood is great for a walk. Very comfy stay. ##### Joyce D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Coleen S. 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Not very good overall The property was clean but the odor of the cleaning products used and / or room freshener was overwhelming. I had an allergic reaction. Took forever for water to get hot, which the owner noted AFTER we reserved the space. Owner was apologetic and refunded the remaining 3 days we had booked. ##### Coleen S. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Terry G. 9 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Photos can be Deceiving The apartment has character with living room having a nice view of front trees. Only one parking spot for 2 of us driving. You have to get an app and pay 3 per night if you have a second car. Hard to find close by street parking. It happened to be cold the 4 days we stayed. The wall heater was filthy, so we didn't even turn it on. Some windows are just louvres, and others have gaps, so they don't seal well. So, you can hear a lot of street noise plus the upstairs apartment noise. The kitchen is very tiny and you have to go through a bedroom to get to the dining table.The dining table veneer edges are coming off. Lamp fixtures, walls and windows were dirty. Couldn't get the password for a few hours until the owner responded. Owner was nice, and said they would have a meeting with the cleaning crew, but that might help the next guests. Then the shower ceiling started leaking when the upstairs people showered! It was a lot of things that just felt uncomfortable. Although the owner responded politely via VRBO messaging or texting, No compensation discount was offered. ##### Terry G.
