I had to reach out and hour before check in to get the information even though i was told I'd receive it the day before. The shared space was poorlt kept and the private room wasn't cleaned very well. I ordered supplies to clean/disinfect and washed the bedding and towls.

This is not a hotel, there is no staff, I was locked out of property for 24hrs with all my belongings inside, the pictures show a large room but is actually a small studio apartment with shared living spaces. I was mislead by Expedias advertisement of this property and wasted my money staying in this HOSTEL. DO NOT BOOK !

Unprofessional

The trip was very not worth what we paid considering we didn’t stay there one night due to the uncomfortably loud the other guests staying there where being and considering we didn’t know there was going to be more than just us staying in the place and I proceeded to let the host know we didn’t want to stay there after checking in to the place not even two hours prior I would like to speak to someone who can help me with this situation

They did not send me the check in instructions and I was stranded on the streets for 1 hour before I got lucky and they responded to my chat message. The service phone number they had provided wasn't working. The rooms I was assigned to were dirty (hair and dirt on the bed) and I had to change my room 4 times. Even the last room wasn't clean but I got tired of moving and stayed. Once I managed to get them on the phone, the service was great but the room and organization were really terrible.

They made it seem like you have your own place to yourself. A living room with a dining and your room. IT WAS NOT. We walk up the stairs and its a common living room and mini kitchen with 3 rooms. Walls are paper thin, the bathroom had hairs on them, bed covers had hairs on them. 2 people were watching tv at the living room and we could hear their tv playing, a crying baby, people fighting somewhere. It reeked of marijuana and main doors were all open. It was only the main gate that was locked. Total disaster. We were not comfortable staying in it and left may be 20mins from when we checked in and went and was lucky enough to find a different accommodation at night. Total waste of time and money. Go somewhere else. I even tried calling the contact person but would not pick up and would only respond through sms.

*DO NOT BOOK* Me and my friend wanted a nicer place to stay for new year’s eve while on our road trip. Any of the 60$ motels would have been better. This room is just a singular room in someone’s house. All the marketed kitchen and dining space is not available for use. The walls are incredibly thin and you can hear both the owners and the neighbors who blast music all night. The front door has no lock? the gate beyond it does lock but was always left open by other tenants. The main door doesn’t even have a door handle??? It literally can not be closed. Not to mention we woke up to someone trying to enter our room well before the check out time. We tried to cancel the booking when we first arrived the tenant didn’t let us. It felt impersonal, unsafe, unclean and absolutely not worth the insane 110$ fee. We are seeking a refund and would strongly recommend others to not book this property.

This property is maintained well with regular cleaning. It is situated close to the 206 bus stop (100 metres away) which drops off at Wiltshire/Normandie on the D line for Union Station. There are other bus options from Jefferson to Down Town Los Angeles (33 bus). The communal area has a great washer and drier stacked in the kitchen, big capacity. There are two ovens and lovey deep sinks. A large tv, wall mounted by the good size dining table. The fridge is large, double door up top and deep. The freezer is lower level and one wide drawer, plenty of room. The bedroom is a double bed, bedside unit, three door wardrobe and desk. There aid a desk lamp which adequately lights the room at night. There is the usual ceiling light too. And the bathroom is great. If you like an extremely hot shower, enjoy. Each room is en-suite too in this shared apartment. Close to Exposition Avenue for the Colliseum/LAFC. Expo and Vermont is the closest E line metro and this will take you to Santa Monica (30 minutes) and the other direction to the arts district done town and out to east LA. You can use the E line to 7th street and then change for the A,B or D line to Union Station. This will be a great location for those travelling for the World Cup!
