This is where I think most people are tripping up about the location. Everything was perfect, but the initial impression of the exterior of the house will throw you off. It's important to remember that the host mentions that everything is under renovation. If you look around, the neighborhood itself is very quiet and welcoming - our neighbors were very kind to us, even helping us with finding parking spots for our car. The exterior shots of the house weren't presented as of 05/20/19, and I think it should be added in to be transparent and upfront to the guests. But as a guest - don't judge a book by its cover. For the value (I mean we're all on Airbnb because hotels are +$300/day, right?), convenient distance to downtown LA, and cleanliness this place is a hidden gem.
