Esther's place is located about 10 minutes from Chinatown, and 10 minutes from Downtown LA. It is a convenient location with a quick ride to other destinations.
The Airbnb is very secure- and I like that. Perhaps it could be a challenge for others, but I really appreciate how you need a key to get into every step of the building, which keeps the building safe and secure. However, there is only one key, which may make it difficult for bigger groups (ours was 6) to coordinate if people plan to leave and come back at different times. We managed to make it work without too much effort. The listing also comes with one parking spot, which is a blessing, especially in the LA area where parking is scarce.
The space itself is quite nice, with two bedrooms and a lovely lounge. The kitchen is small, but we didn't end up cooking anyways. The beds were very comfortable, the sheets clean, with plenty of extra linens for our group to use. The bathrooms were great- very clean, spacious, and perfect for a group of girls who need mirror space to get ready.
Esther herself was a good host. She was flexible with our requests and our later checkout time. We appreciated her hard work in keeping the place clean and tidy for us. Overall I'd recommend this listing for anyone visiting LA with a small group of friends.
