This was our first time using Airbnb and it worked out perfectly. Matthew graciously accepted our very last minute request for a place to stay and was easy and quick to communicate. The apartment was gorgeous and exactly how it looks in the photos - perfect for a single or couple. My only advice is to bring earplugs as the apartment is on busy Melrose Ave. which makes for lots of road noise at all hours. Don't let that deter you from the amazing, convenient location, off-street parking and wonderful apartment. The neighborhood is a foodie's dream, a stone's throw from great shopping and very central if visiting other LA neighborhoods. Matthew was a great host and we will definitely try to rent this apt. again on our next visit to LA.
