The listing was misleading—it’s a casita, not a house. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a small kitchen/living area. My family and I visit LA often, and since our usual spot was unavailable, we ended up here. Let me be honest: Price: Overpriced for what we got. Location: 30 mins from Universal, near Mercado Buenos Aires. Bathrooms: • Showers are small with cheap, overpowering toiletries. Water splashes everywhere, making the floor slippery. • Rust on the shower pipe, TP holder (visible in listing photos), and light fixtures. Tap water tastes metallic, so we used bottled water. • Toilets work fine. Bedrooms: Uncomfortable beds, plenty of blankets, but terrible sleep. Decor feels like two bros just discovered curtains. Living Room: The futon has holes and looks like a dog attacked it. My son had to sleep on the couch. Kitchen: Found old pizza and milk in the fridge. We used our cooler instead. Details: Smoke alarms are removed, a closet door has no knob, and some outlets don’t work. We’re not picky travelers, and we’ve stayed in modest casitas before—but this is the worst place I’ve ever stayed, and I once shared a flooded Texas motel with two strangers.

Not what we were expecting

Communication was good, but there were a few things that were not disclosed.1. this house is a back house, not a main house or the only house on the property.2. you have to park on the street, the driveway has multiple broken down looking Prius'A few things that could be improved:1. one of the couches had a hole in it, it could be repaired or covered.2. there weren't extra trash bags.3. there weren't extra towels. 4. there wasn't a complimentary book with directions 5. We couldn't figure out how to really use the TV in the living room, or the fan / air cooler in the kitchen/living room.6. the front door didn't feel secure.

Liked: Cleanliness

Felt like home.

Our host was so friendly, let us in early using remote check-in process. We were free to come and go as we pleased and felt safe leaving our belongings. Had basic toiletries available and A/C unit was configurable. Internet and Roku TV were great for some late night entertainment. I think all we were missing was a mop as we like to walk with shoes off indoors.

Prius Graveyard

There were 5 Prius' in the driveway and yard and NO parking fopr our vehicle. We had to park on the street in a sketchy neighborhood. The beds were uncomfortable and the patio furniture smelled like cats. Overall an uncommfortable stay.
