This Airbnb was very "ok." Check in was easy enough. The doorman even let us into the loading garage to unload our car. But this was pretty much the only positive experience we had while at the apartment. We knew the neighborhood was rough because we've both been to LA many times and are familiar with Skid Row, but the rating and description of this Airbnb did not prepare me for the fact that I would find a cockroach in the apartment on the first night, and continue to see cockroaches in the hallways every time we left the building. The building itself only had 1 working elevator, servicing a building of 12 floors, which perpetually smelled like weed. There was hair from previous guests on the couch and the bathroom floor when we arrived, layers of dust on the light fixtures and baseboards so thick it looked as though they hadn't been cleaned in years, and a sponge left in the sink that was BROWN, not as in the sponge itself was brown, but that someone had left the sponge so dirty it had turned brown and then just left it in the sink. Not at all sure what our cleaning fee was for... Despite what the welcome binder says, the building is NOT quiet. You can hear everything that happens on the street at all times of the day. Again, we were expecting this because we are familiar with the area, but found it odd that the binder stresses how quiet the building is. That all aside, I will say that the beds were comfy, the AC was strong, and the water pressure was good. However, after our stay I looked up what it would cost to stay at The Hoxton down the street and that 4-star hotel cost less for 4 nights than we paid here (after cleaning fees, tax, and Airbnb fees). Next time, I will skip Airbnb and just get a nice hotel...
