O outro lado de Weho

Automatic cancellation review: The host has canceled a booking 0 days before arrival.

Clint é um anfitrião maravilhoso e faz um excelente trabalho para tornar sua estadia o mais confortável possível. Quando você o conhece pela primeira vez, ele deixa claro que estará tão envolvido em sua estadia quanto você quiser, e ele fala sério. Ele o deixará sozinho, ser seu concierge ou algo no meio. Nossas personalidades se conectaram muito bem, e tivemos um ótimo tempo. Eu recomendaria sinceramente ficar com ele para ter uma ótima experiência em WeHo. Obrigado, Clint, por um ótimo tempo.

Localização perfeita muito perto de lojas e restaurantes. Target e supermercado a 5 minutos de caminhada. Ótimas cafeterias

Anfitrião amigável

Harley foi um ótimo anfitrião... Gostei da minha estadia..

A experiência autêntica e a hospitalidade foram além de outras. Ambiente extremamente amigável e o anfitrião Clint tinha um ótimo conhecimento do bairro. Muito acomodante com conversas interessantes e perspicazes.

Não posso recomendar estas acomodações.

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.

Tivemos uma experiência muito agradável, sentindo-nos em casa. Clint foi sempre muito simpático, conversador e sempre se certificava de que tudo estava bem conosco. Tivemos conversas incríveis enquanto estive lá, e isso me deixou ainda mais confortável. O apartamento é amplo, com banheiro privado para nós, uma cama enorme e muito espaço. Estacionar foi fácil e disponível.

Clint foi um excelente anfitrião. Ele foi além para tornar minha estadia tão confortável e memorável quanto possível.
