Downey ended up being one of the best options for us because it was a mere 20-30min away from everything we had planned (we travelled mostly to downtown LA, Inglewood, Long Beach and Buena Park which easy cheap Uber rides). Initially we didn’t expect much and just needed a safe place to sleep but this was an awesome location to stay at! There was a mall like 10min away by walking and the neighborhood was insanely quiet and everyone was super friendly. The room itself was super clean and Carmen was awesome and provided snacks and beverages for us! They also constantly show that we have the option to ask for anything more that we might need which was really awesome and made us a lot more comfortable. We never formally met Carmen, but we briefly ran into two super friendly family members and their super cute dog which is hypoallergenic! So there was no threat to our allergies which was a HUGE plus!
This location was awesome for our plans and surpassed all expectations considering it was our first Airbnb experience! A bar was set very high for other future locations!! 10/10 would recommend haha!
