We had a great stay in Leon's apartment.
Pros:
-It was very modern and clean and a LOT bigger than it looks in the pictures.
-Jacuzzi was a really nice touch and I used it one night.
-Really big, spacious kitchen with basic cooking and eating supplies made dinnertime very easy for us.
-There's a dishwasher and washing machine and dryer! What a deal!
-This place pretty much looks brand new. So new there are still tags on some things.
-Almost every bedroom has a brand new Roku TV with access to all the streaming channels.
-2 car garage was great.
-Checking into the apartment was a breeze and didn't require us to go through any hoops.
-Communication with our host was really easy, and he was prompt and courteous.
-Location is great for tourists as it's right near all of the Hollywood sights and is in the middle of all the action in LA.
Cons:
-You can hear the neighbors next door because the walls are pretty thin.
-There was plenty of hand soap, shampoo and conditioner, but no body soap, so you should probably bring some.
-Neighborhood is a bit hit or miss. If you're not comfortable with seeing homeless folks on the street, well, maybe don't visit LA because it's hard to avoid. But in all seriousness, I felt very safe going to and from this Airbnb, but I can imagine how folks who are coming from suburbs or other parts of the country where it's not as prevalent to see homeless folks might feel a little scared that there are homeless people on the block. The thing is that this Airbnb is located in a highly gentrifying area, so the reality is that you'll be in a really modern, expensive looking Airbnb that is right next to older buildings that have been there for decades.
Things you should be aware of before you get there:
-Bring an eyemask if you're sensitive to light because there aren't blackout shades.
Overall, we had a great stay in this apartment, and would recommend it for other folks! We had a group of 3 of us in this apartment, and it was comfortable and lovely for us.
