I had to think long and hard about this review. As an Airbnb host myself, I HATE giving bad reviews.
The apartment itself is lovely, sadly I had a few glitches; being LOCKED OUT mid-stay was an infuriating experience for me, particularly when I learn, upon calling the 24 emergency number, that there was no one available at that time to remedy the situation - it would take 1/2 an hour to finally have the door remotely unlocked - still don't understand how that couldn't have been done right away. VERY frustrating.
NO fob / parking pass existed when my 1st guest showed...parking on a level that had no elevator access; despite the fact that none of the upper levels was EVER full, and more automated messages than answers to inquiries - that last 2 of which never got answered.
I take great pride on being an airbnb host, and yes, I only manage one listing, but a lot of what airbnb is to me is about the personal touch.
Tip to the hosts - don't bother with the automated answer that says someone will be getting to you shortly, it sets up an expectation that is not always delivered. We live in a world that has become more and more impersonal. Think about it, how much it annoys you when you get a robot answer as opposed to a person; I don't know anyone who enjoys that.
Just my opinion.
Downtown LA has become truly vibrant since I left back in the 90's. And the Metro is AWESOME.
