The shared space was less than safe. The kitchen was dirty. The countertops were cracked & stained. The stove grill was askew. The things in the fridge were sketch. And the stairwell to the bedrooms was unlit. Some dude was up until 2:30AM doing dishes, but in the morning you couldn't tell. I woke up the next day (after sleeping with the lights on) and all the doors were unlocked. Thanks, I guess, for the two threadbare "towels" and washcloths, but I didn't shower there because I didn't trust my safety.

You are staying at an apartment. Feels like you're home. You can do laundry, dishes, cook a full meal. The bedrooms are proper bedrooms. Just beware the tight turba parking. I've said too much!

Property was clean and nicely decorated. Check-in was easy and smooth. Because this is a shared property, there were other tenants who were a bit loud.

So you know it’s a shared space like a dorm in college. It’s not specifically on the details. The other guest there were surprised as much as we were. We had our baby and privacy was very important for our stay.

This place is modern, very clean, nicely furnished and decorated, well equipped, and located close to attractions. So what's wrong? Well, the owners take great pains to conceal that this is an apartment with three bedrooms, all rented separately, with the living space accessed and shared by all. In effect, it's an upmarket dorm. Because the "shared accommodation" description is purposely well hidden (you have to click on "more details", then "more" again to see it mentioned, just those two words, buried in the small print,) what happens is that guests turn up and are shocked and surprised that "someone else is in the accommodation they booked!" This happened to us, and two other groups on the three nights we'd booked. You end up sharing with people you do not know! If you read the reviews, you'll note that others have been caught out in the same way. The owners should be required NOT to deliberately hide this important detail, buried in the small print several clicks away, but to make it very, very clear on the main page. Given what it really is, the price is way too high (we moved to a nearby 4 star hotel for considerably less per night!), and to add insult to injury, they want you to pay an additional $20 per night just to park your car there, by way of "thanks" for paying them an already overly high price to stay there.

Please be an aware they are renting single rooms inside a shared apartments. So you’re sharing the apartment with other people. I felt unsafe and was highly upset.

The property itself was wonderful. It had two other shared rooms but they were empty so we had it to ourselves. Very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and accommodating as they helped us get out of an Airbnb disaster. And loved that it was a central Hollywood location and able to walk to a few restaurants.
