This Highland Park property is a great place to base your weekly stay in Los Angeles. It meet and exceeded all of my basic needs and I have no complaints about the house.
The Property
If you have been anywhere on Airbnb before you probably saw some creative liberties taken by the hosts in their photos of the property--not this host. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The eccentric lighting choices and dark hard wood walls/floors were my favorite features of the house. The amount of space provided is perfect for a couple; although, I wouldn't recommend bringing small children. Basic amenities (water, wifi, climate control etc.) are all provided for and suitable to most needs in the mild Californian winter during which I stayed.
The Location
20 to 30 minutes of driving from here will get you to most of the touristy locales such as DTLA, Santa Monica Pier, Hollywood etc. It's also in a gentrifying neighborhood of L.A. and we discovered some of the locals; that frequented the nearby cafes, were very friendly and courteous. Some said good morning as we passed by and (Pro Tip) some cafe owners offered a free cup of joe for the first customer of the day.
By the way, the cafes in walking distance on York serve up some AWESOME coffee: The James Brown and Horchata Espresso are must trys.
Overall, this AirBnB earned 5 stars from me and I would recommend it to anyone looking forward to a short stay in Los Angeles.
