This was an awesome location and price for the Airbnb. However, parking is not easy to come by after 8 p.m. It is not as difficult as finding parking in New York, but close to it. I would dissuade anyone who is not use to driving in cities to use this location.For myself, I drove a Mazda MX-5, a small sports car, so it added to the ease of finding parking around the area if one thinks about using a car.
If you are researching the area, expect to be in a neighborhood similar to the Pilsen community in Chicago. Of course, the weather is not as labile in L.A. compared to Chicago, so you will see a lot of furniture, clothes, and accessories on the street being sold. Also, a lot of traffic passes by.
The best part of the place was the hammock. After a long night of partying or hiking, it was there to comfort me. This hammock was reliable and trustworthy enough to hold my weight throughout the stay.
The only bad thing about the place was a security alarm that went off during the night. It made a long transmitter/transformer sound starting from 2 in the morning. It would continuously play a buzzing sound. Luckily, I woke up early for a hike and returned with the sound finally off. It happened again the next day starting 4 in the morning. Luckily, it didn't happen again after a couple days, but something to note.
Michelle was quick to respond to fix any issues. She would have contacted the building manager regarding the buzzing sound if it happened again. Finally, Michelle was very welcoming and provided clear instructions during my stay.
