Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you have AC/heat?
Yes, we do! However, some guests have experienced difficulty operating the thermostat. Please note that our on-site team is available to assist with any issues from around 9am to 4pm. If you encounter any problems outside of these hours, you may need to troubleshoot on your own or wait until the next day for assistance.
Is parking available?
Yes, parking is available at the back of our property, accessible via an alley entrance. Please be aware that the alley can be a bit tricky to locate if you have difficulty reading maps. Parking is $10 per night with unlimited in-and-out privileges. However, parking spaces are not guaranteed, and if another guest parks in a way that prevents you from parking, we will gladly refund your parking fee.
Is it safe to walk at night?
Westlake MacArthur Park is an urban neighborhood with a lot of character, but like many areas in major cities, it has its challenges. While some guests feel comfortable walking around during the day and evening, we recommend exercising caution if you plan to walk at night. It’s best to stay on well-lit streets, avoid the park after dark, and remain aware of your surroundings. If you’re unfamiliar with the area or concerned about safety, we suggest using a rideshare service or driving instead.
Is the Wi-Fi reliable?
We offer complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property. While most guests find the connection reliable for general use, please note that the speed may vary depending on the number of devices connected and the time of day. If you encounter any issues, please let us know during business hours.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, we do allow pets on the ground floor for an additional fee. However, please note that pets cannot be left unattended at any time. This policy ensures the safety and comfort of all our guests.
How far are you from downtown LA?
Our property is conveniently located about 10-15 minutes from downtown Los Angeles by car, depending on traffic. It’s also accessible via public transit, with several bus lines and the Metro Red/Purple Line nearby.
Do you provide housekeeping services during the stay?
For stays longer than a week, we offer a complimentary mid-stay cleaning. For shorter stays, housekeeping is not provided during your stay, but we do ensure the unit is thoroughly cleaned before your arrival. Additional cleaning services can be arranged for a fee.
Is there a laundry facility on-site?
We do not allow guests to use our on-site laundry facilities. However, there are three coin-operated laundry facilities within walking distance. The nearest laundromat is just a 5-minute walk away on Wilshire Boulevard. Please ask for directions if needed.
What’s the check-in/check-out process?
We use a Schlage lock for check-in, and Airbnb automatically sets the code for your stay. Check-in is self-service and available any time after 4pm. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to access the property before your arrival. Check-out is at 11am. Please make sure to leave the keys in the lockbox when you depart.
Are there restaurants or grocery stores nearby?
Yes, there are several options within walking distance. A popular local spot is Langer's Deli, known for its world-famous pastrami sandwiches, just a 10-minute walk away. You’ll also find a variety of Mexican and Central American eateries along Alvarado Street. For groceries, there’s a large supermarket about a 10-minute walk away on 3rd Street, and several smaller convenience stores closer by.

It is centrally located, offering easy access to downtown LA, Koreatown, and other popular destinations. The area has undergone various changes over the years, and while it remains an authentic part of the city, guests should be aware that it is an urban neighborhood facing challenges common to many metropolitan areas.
Guests may notice a visible homeless population, as well as issues related to drug use and street crime. While the neighborhood can feel gritty at times, it also has a strong community spirit and a range of local eateries, markets, and public spaces that reflect the area’s diverse character.
