Guest Reviews

• Tanya (9/5): Memorable and would return for sure! - The location is central and walkable in the area. Plenty of beds for a group to sleep in. The kitchen is great for entertaining family and friends during our stay although we didn’t cook in it.
• Anna (9/5): I definitely recommend this studio! - We had everything we needed, even blender to make our smoothies 😁 Studio is in very good location with easy access to airport, shops, beach… Also bed was large and comfortable 😊
• Blair (3/5): We left a night early because we couldn’t handle the smell. It was triggering my asthma. - Really nice bathroom, skylight and big bathtub It smelled terrible. Very musty and stuffy and there was a LOUD automatic air freshener that went off twice and hour to cover up the stinky air, but it made it worse.
• Adriana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - A really nice home in the perfect location. The kitchen was fully stocked and easy to cook for a group. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It's the best location in a nice neighborhood with groceries and restaraunts very close by. We would definitely stay again, an excellent value.
• Alison (10/5): Very clean. Convenient location. Very responsive owner to any questions we had. - Very comfortable for our group of 5. Lots of seating and very large kitchen. Great location to local stores and short walk to the beach.
• Linda (9/5): I hope to return before long. - Location was great for this trip. Could be aired out-
• Agnes (9/5): Very nice stay, good location - Comfortable Whole Foods very near Beach not far
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Érica (8/5): Very good -
• Ivan (9/5): Superb -
• Piero (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (7/5): Turned out to be a nice stay after an arduous booking/ checking in process - It’s a nice, modern property, about 20 mins walk from Venice beach which was lovely & it has some good facilities. Bruno can be quite difficult to communicate & deal with at times and there are a lot of extra steps outside of your regular booking.com booking to complete before arrival so be prepared. Payments are also handled external to booking.com which I was apprehensive about but it turned out to be ok in the end.
• Atinuke (8/5): Everything is just as described. The location is walking distance to shops, drive about 4 min beach - Ease. Code
• Sara (9/5): Great stay with clean facilities, would definitely stay again! - The property was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was very nice! Plenty of towels, and the host left out snacks and water upon our arrival. The check-in process was quite different from others - the host coordinated a time to meet upon our arrival in person, required pictures of our identification, and had some rules we hadn’t experienced before. Nothing “bad”, just a little more tedious of a check-in without the typical lockbox process.
• Anonymous (3/5): Poor -
• Craig (8/5): Brilliant large apartment in a great location - 10 mins from beach - We stayed on the ground floor apartment which was extremely spacious and nicely decorated with tons of great amenities. Stunning kitchen with marble tops and well equipped with coffee maker, oven, hob and large refrigerator. Large outside area for socialising and two reception areas inside the property. Two good size bedrooms and a third area with three beds. TVs in bedroom and lounge. Great communication from host who was extremely supportive. The WiFi didn’t stretch throughout the entire property and we struggled with the TVs at first. I thought we had booked the first floor apartment from the original pictures but it was a wonderful place.
• Chris (8/5): This is a fun, open, clean apartment in a nice location. - It was in a great location and was very clean. We felt safe in the neighbourhood. Parking was pretty good, most of the time. Apart from the bathroom there isn’t much privacy between the sleeping spaces.
• Joel (6/5): Needed in a pinch and made it work, but for the price and location would not stay voluntarily - Available Loud location on corner Pics do not accurately represent space A hassle to deal with owner
• Rodrigues (5/5): Passable - The location was perfect. Having to deal with 3 keys was a pain and the bed my nephew slept in had bed bugs and he was bitten quite a few time.
• Vanicee (10/5): Very peaceful, and worth the price! I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I come back for another stay! - I loved how peaceful it felt being there. You get a really good vibe being in that studio. That’s something not a lot of rentals can give. The space you have is enough for anyone. You feel right at home as well.
• Pete (10/5): Highly recommend! Bruno is a wonderful host! - Clean, secure, great location!
• Mal (9/5): good - no breakfast inculded all ok
• Laurent (3/5): The worst and only bad experience we have had via Booking. - Location First of all, the owner made disproportionate demands on me: asking me to fill out a questionnaire / employment contract of more than 2 pages with very intrusive requests about my identity and that of my family, even going so far as to ask me for photos of my bank card, the age of my family members, etc. The accommodation offered does not at all live up to what is advertised because it is in poor condition: dirty sofa and pillows, broken kitchen cupboards and furniture, even though it is indicated in its pseudo contract / regulations interior that “moving furniture can and will result in damage to floors (..), costing customers repairs!” If this occurs, customers will be fined $1,000.00 and subject to immediate eviction.” In addition, there was a hole in the ceiling of the main room: whenever it rained, water flowed inside the apartment and pieces of plaster came off the ceiling, making a noise. perpetual flow not very reassuring which kept us awake half the night. You can see the photos attached. I was more than surprised to discover in the “Welcome Guide” that $25 would be taken from my deposit for each bottle of shower gel, shampoo, etc. who could be missing. However, there was no inventory carried out upon my arrival and I had to empty the previous occupants' trash cans myself. In addition to this, the owner demanded from us a few days before our arrival and even though the reservation had been made for several weeks an additional $35 per person per day even though we just warned him that our cousins (2 people) came to dinner for the evening of December 31. When we expressed our disagreement on this point, he then offered a 50% discount on the $280 requested or cancellation 1 day after our arrival in the USA. In short, the owner demanded an additional sum of $140 for 2 people who came to dine in the apartment one evening.
• Aleksandra (9/5): Very spacious with good location - The apartment is huge! There were only 4 of us, and we've found Bruno's place last minute as our initial reservation got cancelled. Location is really convenient, very close to Venice Beach, extremely delicious Mexican food stand right across the street. There's an option to rent bikes from the owner, which is really convenient. Check in and check out went very smoothly, we wished we had stay longer!
• Surja (7/5): Good -
• Chloe (7/5): Good -
• Wojciech (1/5): It couldn't get any worse. - Only location. My stay was disastrous with numerous unpleasant incidents that significantly disrupted the entire visit. The check-in was strictly limited until 9 PM, which is extremely inconvenient and inflexible for travelers. Additionally, the policy regarding bath liquids was absolutely absurd - a $25 charge for their use due to them being sealed? That is completely unacceptable. Of course, he didn't say that; we just found it in the binder. The kitchen utensils were disgustingly dirty. Furthermore, the owner's behavior was not only unprofessional but also dangerous. Taking photos of our documents was a breach of privacy and an unlawful act. His aggressiveness, including forcibly taking documents and credit cards from us, is an absolute scandal. Cancelling the reservation during the first night displayed a complete lack of respect for guests. Moreover, the incident with the cleaners entering the premises despite my presence and attempting to start cleaning was absolutely unacceptable. The necessity of repeatedly contacting support to return to the apartment only added stress and distress. Additional events, such as strangers throwing luggage over the fence onto the property, preventing us from leaving the house, and a noisy party in the adjacent premises until late at night, made the stay thoroughly unpleasant. Furthermore, the noise from rats in the ventilation only worsened the situation. In summary, this experience was the worst I have ever encountered while traveling. I do not recommend this place to anyone and strongly discourage booking at this location.
• Alex (6/5): Pleasant -
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Zuzanna (9/5): Superb - This place is great especially if you want to explore Venice Beach area and Santa Monica - super close to many great restaurants, stores and to the legendary beach. If like us, you're going to LA for business, the location is very close (in LA standards) to Santa Monica business park and to Culver City business park, so it works both for business and pleasure. The owner was very nice, very responsive, no issues at all.
• Tanja (10/5): we loved it - good communication with the host comfort great living room area balconies for hanging out fully equipped kitchen for larger groups: there are 2 bathrooms only, with one being in the master bedroom. It didn't bother us (we were a group of 9), but it's imortant to know
• Paul (1/5): Aweful, terrible location. Felt very unsafe in the area. Couldn’t contact the agent to get access. Took a huge deposit f - Nothing Not at all what it looked liked on the site Not how it was depicted on the site Mosquitoes were an issue, access was terrible
• Julian (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (5/5): Was a nice stay except for the mosquitoes. Wishing it was a bit closer to the beach. The owner was very nice and respons - Nice spacious kitchen and family room. There were mosquitoes in the house which made being there uncomfortable especially at night while going to bed and sleeping.
• Gary (10/5): Absolutely perfect place to wind down after a six month American tour - Everything about the property was fantastic This question doesn’t apply
• David (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cheryl (9/5): Great accommodation with everything we needed in a good location. - The apartment had more space than I expected. It could have easily slept 8 in a choice of 4 beds. The main bed was a large king size and very comfortable. 2 of the other beds were inflatable (one a very substantial double) and the sofa was also made up as a double. We only needed beds for 2 people so there was sufficient and choice. Property was in a good location. It was about 15 minutes walk to the front at Venice Beach. The kitchen was fully equippped with a large oven and gas hob plus microwave, fridge freezer, kettle etc. There were 2 good outdoor spaces too. We made use of the communal washing machine. Bruno our host was great and easy to communicate with during our stay.
• Tara (7/5): Good - the oven is dangerous.
• Natalie (2/5): If 1-ply were a stay in Venice beach - The kitchen is actually pretty good except the stove starters gave trouble The space is shared. It is a divided big home with long term renters on the top 2 floors. There is a grill and not much of a yard for any use. The couch smelt yuck on the end you lay on. The one room is a curtain to divid the room from the kitchen. It is 25min walk from popular Venice promenade.
• Corey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charles (9/5): Superb - Comfortable, spacious great shower and bath. Was a quite and relaxing space. Having to unlock and lock the gate on entry is painful.
• Janine (9/5): Lovely stay in Venice Beach. - Spacious room, big bathroom, short walk to Venice Beach. Laundry machine on site. Safe area. Pretty good value for money, highly recommend! N.a
• Kevin (8/5): Very good -
• Sanja (10/5): Recommendation from the group, we felt like at home :) - Kudos to the accommodation, it's big, the kitchen has everything you need and the yard is great. But the best impression was left by the owner of the accommodation, who allowed us to leave our suitcases in the morning long before check-in in his garage. He is very nice and really went out of his way to meet all of our needs and made it possible for us to have a better time in LA. Also, the accommodation is walking distance from Venice Beach, food, shops, We liked everything about the accommodation, maybe the cleaning lady could vacuum and clean a little more thoroughly, but it was comfortable and convenient.
• Britani (10/5): Relaxing - The property was beautiful, comfortable, spacious, in a great location, and Bruno was so kind and easy to work with. I have zero complaints.
• Ella (10/5): Bruno was pleasant, accommodating and responsive in all of my dealings and communications with him. I would definitely s - comfy bed….and spacious. great location!
• Livio (5/5): Passable - Great Location, a very spacious flat. The check-in instructions were very clear and easy to follow. If you're a large group on a budget, this might be for you. When booking the nonrefundable property - you are greeted with a message about a "contract" detailing how much you will be fined for various offenses such as moving furniture. The pictures aren't very clear about which property they were showing. When arriving the bins were still full, the cleaning ladies were having a chat at the dining table and stayed for a good hour. The oven contained some dirty aluminum-wrapped oven dish. The linen and towels were washed but old and stained. The temporary air beds are put out no matter the number of guests.
• Warren (7/5): Good -
• Yvonne (8/5): perfect - location 3rd bedroom in livingroom
• Johnny_co_co (8/5): Very good - Closed to Venice Beach, a few nice restaurants and coffee bars, also next to Wholefood Market where you can make shopping. It is located on a quiet road where you can easily park for free. We took an apartment on the ground floor from the yard side so it was quiet and relaxing. Way too long and complicated instruction e-mail received about check in rules, payment, etc. If the client paid already for staying in advance, in my opinion, he needs only info on how to get the keys. That's it:) Other than that, all good.
• Avi (8/5): Very good -
• Paul (8/5): my family was pleased with experience at your property - privacy w big trees, close to beach, my nieces and nephews stayed there, I never actually saw it :) refrigerator was broken.
• Andrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jason (7/5): it was a clean, comfortable and roomie place set is neighborhood with both positives and negatives. The host of self was - it was a fabulous location, Whole Foods, a great coffee bar, and Mexican food all near by. The home was near a halfway house that made us feel uncomfortable. Our first night, one poor lady shrieked and screamed most of the night. our host was also extremely condescending. There was no mention of filling out paperwork online when we booked the place. We had to digitally give our drivers licenses to him and he told us that if we could not get into the home after 9 PM that we were not guaranteed a place to stay. Meaning that his check in was a four hour window and that if you did not hit it, you were out of luck. this was quite upsetting as we traveled five hours in a car wondering if we would have a place to stay when we arrived. When we met our host on Saturday morning, he made it very clear that he was frustrated with the foreigners who tried to rent his place because they didn’t understand his instructions. It was also clear that customer service was not his number one priority.
• Erlend (10/5): Truly a Gem - Alt, nesten! Spectacular location and a very nice apartment! Cozy and romantic. The fold-out-bed is truly rubbish but the King-size bed was faultless.
• Vibeke (4/5): I expected an all-round better stay because of the relatively high price. - Quiet at night. Clean towels. Spacious room and bathroom. A little tricky to find because there were no signs in front of the house. Narrow path to get to the suite, and no light when it gets dark. Floors were dirty. No door separating shower/bath from the rest of the apartment. Small kitchen without proper indoor dining table or chairs. Only some kitchen equipment was clean. No private parking. After you make your reservation (and have paid the rental amount plus 95 USD cleaning fee, 500 USD deposit, tax, and credit card fee) you receive 14 questions and rules from the host, which you must accept before arrival, otherwise if you cancel you get a cancellation fee. After the stay we spend a lot of time sorting out how to get back the deposit. Poor respond from the host.
