I hesitated to write this review because it won't really be a good one and had to think hard before writing it. There were a lot of issues with this listing. Firstly, as others before me have said, the check in requirements after payment are a bit odd. Tucked away at the very bottom of house rules is an inconspicuous statement saying that some form of govt id would be required. OK. No problem. What this means ususally is that the owner/institution checks it by eye and perhaps make a paper photo copy. What they want here is a scan of your passport (if you are not a US citizen and don't have a US driver's license) and upload that scan onto their third party server (not Airbnb). Then you have to upload another picture of yourself holding the passport/driver's license. The check in algorithm won't move forward if you don't do this. And their reps won't answer or take consideration. In this day and age, a scan of your passport copy floating out there in the web could spell serious trouble. They never thought of this. My first Airbnb manager tried to communicate with them but she was based in another continent and for 5 days I had not news of what was going on as I refused to upload my passport for reasons said above. The second case manager helped me resolve this. Then there is the safety of the area - it was not a safe area - but we have to accept this as part of downtown LA. However, on the street level of the building, there is a marijuana dispensary. This should have been made known. The corridor and lift leading up to the apartment is just filled with marijuana vapor or incompletely combusted products of such (they have such machines these days that extract the compound without actually burning the herb). There was not ventilation at all. The traverse time from the outer door to the lift and up to the third or fourth floor is about 3.5 minutes depending - no way to hold the breath. The stairwell which I took to avoid the vapor was pretty bad too but that was my least damaging option as I became allergic to marijuana smell some years ago. I told them about it but they did not really want to give me a refund or any other option until they mentioned the option to see if I could check out early and they see if they sell those nights I had booked. I actually ended up visiting the hospital because of this. I cannot really blame the host too much for this but the overall experience is that the care for the guests has been awfully lacking. The parking lot across the street is another matter. Security hazard there at night. One has to walk down the ramp after 9pm otherwise, he / she can get trapped in the corridors with self locking doors that...
