Very nice and clean it's great to have your own space in a great part of town. The parking is also a huge plus when you have to return your rental to the airport ;)

This is one of the best shared living / stay experience I have had in the U.S. The staff are great, the facilities are convenient and clean. You get some free refreshments and basic things like coffee and tea. The guests here were respectful of each other. Sometimes the place hosts events and shows, which are nice. Parking was secure and safe. Venice beach is just minutes away by foot, or you can grab one of the Lyft scooters to get you there quicker.

Loved everything about this experience. This was my first experience with shared living spaces on vacation and it exceeded my expectations. Perfect location, felt like a calm space in a chaotic city, staff was awesome, and the fellow travelers were fun to interact with!

“Great Staff and facilities....TERRIBLE tenants”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
So let me start off with this, I don't think it's the fault of Podshare, and I know they can't be accountable for the fault of others. Though I'm reviewing my stay, not Podshare. I'm glad I napped on the plane before I arrived because I couldn't sleep at all while there. I'm guessing it was an off night with some bad guests according to the other reviews it sounds like a great place. Where to start. Here's a time line of my stay. 630pm arrive for check in, greeted and given a full tour of the facility by a very friendly employee who did a great job showing me the place 930pm After grabbing something to eat, I hear a guy yelling at someone about bailing on a drug deal for about 45 minutes. 1130pm Hear a guy with terrible night terrors yell "No No NO! Get off me" with loud coughing spells in between, not sure if it was the same guy but heard someone talking to themselves for a long time. 1230am til around 4am same guy, same night terrors on and off. 5am Someone throwing up for over an hour and dry heaving 7am Got the hell outta there. Again, I don't think it's Podshare's fault and I don't normally leave bad reviews (the 4 others that I have posted have been 9's and up) but wow...yeah...definitely telling people to stay away especially after a long flight, got ZERO sleep.
The staff was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The location is great with a nice little organic bodega less than a block away. The care package on my bunk was very nice. Bathroom was super clean.

First, there is no locker for your bags.. Just small ones that you have to pay 3$ to use, which means you have to leave your bag in the open all day, with no security at all We took them with us while exploring the city after the first day when our food was stolen .. The people working there were just constantly on their phone, never smiling or anything, and didn’t come to open the door to us when we first arrived This place isn’t as “cool” as you might think, the atmosphere is just not the best, people don’t really talk to each other And more importantly the place is pretty dirty all the time, the showers, toilets and kitchen especially (the sink was always full of a pile dirty dishes) Also, i get the “no privacy” policy, but it wouldn’t hurt to put real doors to the toilets and showers .. We probably won’t be coming back

-No privacy (no curtains allowed) -No curtains on windows or on pods so light comes through (didn’t get a proper night sleep throughout our stay) -3 showers and 3 toilets to service all guests - No doors separating dorms, so our 6 bed dorm was connected to all other dorms (we paid extra), essentially this place is just one giant dorm for all guests -Messy rundown bathrooms with leftover toiletries from previous guests
-Inviting and encouraging staff -Great location -Felt our belonging were secure -Not much else

“Summary of the stay - no sleep all night or shower!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
DIRTY PLACE WITH RATS!! No apology from staff or urgency to get rid of them! They were in the kitchen which is an open plan room that had our bunk in. Running all over the work surfaces during the night. They emphasise quiet time, and then turn on the washing machines next to the bunks - and they're loud! We were in an overflow/spare bunk with no TV or shelving so slept with valuables on the bed with us. You can see the shadow/outline of people in the shower, even if you're not in the bathroom - no surprise we didn't use that. Pay a little extra and stay elsewhere.
Nice to have a double pod but make sure you don't get the spare one with no tv or shelf!!!

“Clean and cosy place with a nice garden, and very close to the beach!”
- • Leisure trip

I love the garden - very chilling and comfortable furniture :) The hostel was very clean, and we got a nice gift in the beginning <3 There is one shared space for all the guests so prepare for that. But it's still very nice and cosy. If you don't sleep very well you will need earplugs - you can get them for free from the staff. Beds are very comfortable, people are super nice, and the location is great! You can also get bikes for free - you just need to pay 5$ for the locker. I highly recommend to take bikes and ride to the Venice beach! There is also free parking for guests, which is very comfortable. Plus it's very close to the airport.

Small bathroom. Having everything open means that you get all the noise from the kitchen from drunk people coming back at 3 and cooking ! The kitchen should close between during the supposedly "quiet" time.
Very nice and clean it's great to have your own space in a great part of town. The parking is also a huge plus when you have to return your rental to the airport ;)

Lovely backpacker close to Monica beach. We stayed only one night but would have liked to stay longer. There is a nice garden and the all building is very modern and stylish.
