Pros-
- Great location, hard to beat this in LA
- Pictures do not do it justice — this is a cute, comfortable place to stay.
- Very, very clean
- Host (Maria) is communicative, helpful, and kind
- Easy, safe street parking with permit
- Other reviews mentioned the entrance being “sketchy” — I disagree. The entrance is in an alley, which is very normal in LA. I used to live in this area, and this location is perfectly safe. The alley entrance is unusual to some, but it’s not unsafe or “sketchy” at all. Really.
Cons-
- No dishwasher or drier. Not a big deal at all, but good to know.
- Location is located on an alley in a busy area, so it’s not always quiet but overall it is reasonable for LA. Not a big deal at all.
- Check ahead to arrange for towels with the host, we didn’t have one but not a big deal at all.
- I deducted one star because some work was done on the outside wall that was very loud and disruptive to our stay. It drove us out of the unit and affected our stay.
- One other thing to note — Maria the host stays in an attached “suite” to the airbnb unit. We heard the tv and dog plus general human sounds through the attached door (she kept the connecting door closed and locked). Privacy is somewhat limited for this reason. Not a big deal to some, but good to be aware of ahead of time.
