Leaving this review as I didn't see anyone else mention it and it would have swayed my decision if I had. The surrounding area is really rough. This is in the middle of skid row and you feel it. Tents lining the streets, people shooting up, overall not somewhere you want to walk around at night.
I grew up in the inner city and homeless people don't bother me, but skid row really felt like something different. The parking is 2 blocks away so walking through that to get to the airbnb at night was just something I wasn't comfortable doing for the week I stayed in LA.
It's a shame too because the airbnb itself is really nice. Cool views, awesome lighting, tall ceilings. The place is a vibe.
