Sunny Boho Chic West Hollywood Flat!

L’emplacement

Pas de lumière facilement dans le salon (nécessite de télécharger une application, nous aurions aimé quelque chose de plus simple) Manque d’insonorisation (on entendait les voisins parler)

This flat is in a great location to explore (West) Hollywood on foot. There are bars, restaurants, and grocery stores just around the corner, and Runyon Canyon, Hollywood, shopping on Melrose, and LACMA are all within walking distance. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a huge smart tv that not only has all the channels you would expect, but is also connected to multiple streaming services. It was very handy to be able to do the laundry. The bed is very comfortable, and there is even a roof terrace so you can sit out in the sun.

Generally, this place is great. The only minor points I noticed are that the faucet cap in the sink in the bathroom needs replacing so the water flows normally and it take a while for the hot water to flow in the shower, but it was so hot during my visit that this wasn't really a problem.

Loved staying at this place. Very cute and comfortable, with amazing natural light. Wonderfully central location but still quite quiet. As a small woman traveling alone, I felt safe in this apartment and neighborhood. The bed was super comfy and the place had everything I needed. I had some trouble figuring out the lights and A/C when I arrived, but the host FaceTimed with me, even though it was late, to make sure that I got it all figured out which I really appreciated! Also, some of the candle lights were not working and I figured out it was because the batteries had died in them—as soon as I mentioned this to the host, he asked me to let him know what size batteries were needed and offered to have them delivered which I also thought was great. I don’t expect to be back to L.A. anytime soon, but would happily stay here again! Would also recommend to friends who are visiting. Also appreciated that the host provides lots of local recommendations!

Having an overhead light to turn on quickly when you walk in the door would have been nice, but I think it just wasn’t working properly when I was there. Once you get the app set up on your phone, you can actually turn the Philips Hue lights on before you enter the apartment which is nice! Water temperature in the shower also seems kind of easily affected by water use in nearby apartments, but that is understandable and I was never uncomfortable for long. Just something that might be helpful to know ahead of time :) Overall, the positives of this place far outweighed any negatives.

It was in close proximity to many touristy places. The neighbors were all very friendly. It was clean.

Couldn’t locate a key to the trash bins. Bath tub would take hours to drain. Wash machine did not drain water from clothes. Car window of rental car was smashed while parked on the street over night.
