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.

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.

Shady listing

Shady management !!!First of all, they bury the fact that it’s a shared accommodation at the bottom of the listing after reading a whole novel about the place it’s 3 from the end of the list .. I opened up the front door, expecting to have a luxury apartment to myself for the night after having lost my place to live and struggling this was going to be a treat to myself ..I walk in to find a half naked man cooking dinner in the kitchen and we were both shocked to see each other as he didn’t know It was shared either I immediately left and booked another hotel.. an actual hotel And they refuse to pay me back my $ even though I’ve never stepped foot inside the unit super shady and Hotels.com facilitated it so I will never be using either again.

It is a shared apartment and the walls are thin. The place looked clean but the floor was dirty. No hand towels provided and food was left in the fridge. The bed was okay, however the neighbors were loud and made it difficult to sleep. Not worth the amount, better off paying a bit more for a hotel room.

There was hair in the bathtub, the bed sheets had stains, someone came and knocked in our room made us feel really unsafe. The doorknobs were so loud, the walls paper thin, not to mention that the heater is controlled throughout the whole building and it was set at a hot temperature making it very uncomfortable to sleep the air felt so dry, parking was charged $20 even though the area is known as a struggle for parking. The parking inside is very tight not easy to get out of. The experience was so bad we decided to leave at 4am rather than stay more time there. Never again.
