L'altra faccia di Weho

Clint è un host meraviglioso e fa un ottimo lavoro per rendere il tuo soggiorno il più confortevole possibile. Quando lo conosci per la prima volta, ti fa sapere che sarà coinvolto nel tuo soggiorno quanto tu desideri, e lo dice sul serio. Ti lascerà stare da solo, essere il tuo concierge o qualcosa nel mezzo. Le nostre personalità hanno avuto un'ottima sintonia, e abbiamo avuto un momento fantastico. Consiglierei sinceramente di stare con lui per un'esperienza fantastica a WeHo. Grazie, Clint, per un momento fantastico.

Posizione perfetta molto vicina a negozi e ristoranti. Target e supermercato a 5 minuti a piedi. Ottimi bar

Ospite amichevole

Harley è stato un ottimo host... Ho apprezzato il mio soggiorno..

L'esperienza autentica e l'ospitalità erano straordinarie. Ambiente estremamente amichevole e l'ospite Clint aveva una grande conoscenza del quartiere. Molto disponibile con conversazioni interessanti e perspicaci.

Non posso raccomandare questi alloggi.

Room 1 in Clint's apartment was very comfy, furnished with — among other things — a large soft bed that could easily fit two people, a space heater (a warm room is a must for me when I travel, so I was delighted, though I didn't often use it because the apartment was already at a pleasant temperature) and a fan, a large desk with nearby outlets, and an ensuite bathroom (a very nice surprise) with a lovely warm shower. The location is great, about a 20 minute max walk to the hopping parts of both Hollywood and West Hollywood, with easy access to public transportation — buses proceed regularly down Santa Monica Boulevard at the end of the block, and there's a red line metro station about a 20 minute walk away, at Hollywood and Highland. The room lacked for nothing, as far as my travel needs go, and Clint insisted on giving me the full hotel treatment and wouldn't hear of me helping to change the linens and towels. Clint is a really enthusiastic, funny, energetic host, ideal for people who want to throw themselves immersively into the 24/7 experience of his colorful world. After several years of living in the area, he has extensive knowledge of WeHo and is eager to share it with visitors. Clint very kindly offered to create a customized multi-day local tour for me; I wasn't able to take advantage of it, but I imagine it would be a great option for travellers who are more spontaneous than I am. In the interests of full honesty, this rental is probably not the best fit for someone who considers their hotel room to be primarily a place to sleep. Because I booked Clint's apartment relatively last-minute (after my initial MisterB&B host unexpectedly became unavailable), I had already planned out my entire itinerary, not realizing that Clint was expecting to show me around most if not all of the time. It was really sweet of him to want to be my guide, and fortunately we were able to squeeze in a couple of nights to hang out (including New Year's Eve), but when he learned that I was going to be out sightseeing most days until relatively late, he began scolding me practically nonstop for a week, prior to and throughout my stay, for not having consulted him about things to see or places to eat. I was repeatedly asked to justify (by which I mean, he insisted these were personal failings of mine) why I had decided to eat at a certain restaurant, why I scheduled my travel itineraries in advance, why I wasn't keen to change my plans, why I wasn't comfortable riding a scooter to the bar, why I didn't want soy sauce on my wontons (I kid you not), etc, etc. It was exhausting to be put constantly on the defensive and forced into unwanted arguments. Clint also accused me of being rude when I politely turned down his kind offers of food, ie leftover fried chicken from his fridge (he was dubious that I was genuinely un-hungry because, as he put it, "You're not missing any meals."). His reasoning was that it's considered impolite in Southern culture if you refuse to taste at least a bite of your host's food. As a fellow born-and-raised Southerner, I can only say that the hallmark of Southern hospitality is to ensure that one's guests are comfortable and feel welcome — not to make them feel bad if they don't eat your food or follow your suggestions — and I'm very sad to have to say that I found this listing lacking in that regard. Clint absolutely has a point that the community of MisterB&B hosts is not only special but a valuable resource for recommendations about local destinations and the LGBT scene. However, I feel strongly that the degree to which a traveller takes advantage of that resource should be up to them. Personally, I adore solo travel, being in total control of my own itinerary, and enjoying the experiences at my own pace (however fast or slow that may be), and I would never dream of expecting my host to show me around, for fear that I would be a massive imposition. It pains me to have to say anything negative about my stay, because I enjoyed Clint's company, and helping him record TikTok videos, when he wasn't in a confrontational mood. I feel sure he didn't fully comprehend how uncomfortable these conversations made me — he seemed to regard it as nothing more than good-natured teasing and dispensing friendly advice. And I could've overlooked it, if it hadn't been incessant. I hasten to add that this experience is mine and mine alone. Visitors looking for an immersive, spontaneous tour would undoubtedly mesh much better with Clint's style, and would therefore have a dramatically different experience.

Abbiamo avuto un'esperienza molto piacevole, sentendoci a casa. Clint è stato sempre molto gentile, chiacchierone e si assicurava sempre che tutto andasse bene con noi. Abbiamo avuto conversazioni fantastiche durante il mio soggiorno, e questo mi ha reso ancora più a mio agio. L'appartamento è grande, con un bagno privato per noi, un letto enorme e molto spazio. Il parcheggio era facile e disponibile.

Clint è stato un host meraviglioso. Ha fatto tutto il possibile per rendere il mio soggiorno il più confortevole e memorabile possibile.
