DTLA's Maverick Home 5B4B, Close to USC

Overall nice, some unlcean spots here and there

Great place.

The house is in a good location to la memorial. Although never felt real unsafe the neighborhood seemed a little suspect. We were 4 adult males so we were fine, but not sure if I would take my family. No real common area to gather either.

The house was as advertised. Parking was quite a challenge so we parked on the street. There was a plumbing issue with the kitchen sink but Canaan was very responsive and got it fixed the next day. Regarding the neighborhood, I could see how some people would be a little concerned. We didn't have any issues but would have liked to see the surrounding neighborhood before we booked. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the overall location was close to the airport.

So many conflicting Pros & Cons, I'll have to just give it an "Average" Rating. Here are the speed lowlights and highlights: 5 professionals stayed here for about a week for the American Film Convention at the nearby Magic Box (i.e.: Skid Row) in DTLA. After running the show for ten-hour days, we got home, exhausted - but the clicker didn't work so we had to jump over the gate (looking like we were breaking in ;-/) to click it from the code on the OTHER side of the gate to get our car to drive in. (Two parking spots is a stretch. It's ONE parking spot). Then, ready for bed, like good, clean housemates, we turned on the dishwasher - which immediately overflowed causing four of us to scramble with the few towels we had to stem the flood. ;-/ SOoooo not what you want to do when all you want to do is hit the damn hay! ;-/ Felt like we were at home with all the DIY chores we had to do to keep the place running. ;-/ To be fair: they promptly delivered more towels for showers in the AM - and a clicker that worked. So they were "responsive" but... still... Leon, their manager - and others - were all polite and communicative - especially of all they expected and demanded of us. For whatever reason, I had to go back into VRBO as a new prospect in order to communicate BACK with them during our visit. There was no pitcher, hardly any glasses. But the place was good for 5 professionals needing their own rooms. There was no couch or anywhere to relax together. Just a table.
