I spent a month here and loved every moment of it. Lincoln Heights is an interesting old neighborhood, close to DTLA, full of good Mexican restaurants and with a laid back family-friendly atmosphere. There's some really interesting cultural spots in the neighborhood such as The Airliner club and the HM157 cultural center, but other than this you will not find much signs of gentrification (e.g. no expensive coffee places). Public transport is decent with bus 45 taking you downtown, but it's a good idea to install the GoMetro smartphone app to be informed about the timetables as the wait can be long during nighttime.

The Lopez family are very kind and respect the privacy of the guests completely. The house itself is shared only with other airbnb guests. The house comes with a cosy living room, a well-equipped kitchen and a sunny patio. During my stay the other guests were very friendly and, in general, clean. The bedroom itself is bright and has a desk which was useful for me as a working space. I have no complaints about the room, the house, or the hosts and would rent the room again.
