This was a very comfortable stay. The apartment was as described. We really liked the firm comfortable beds and that the place was very clean. I was surprised when after booking I saw that the place was near downtown and not Universal Studios like Air BnB first indicated but the host communicated very well with me about it. It only took us 15min to drive to Universal Studios each way so it was still very convenient.
The key handoff does require arranging a time to meet up, so you do have to plan around that and can't just show up like places with a lock box. The host was flexible with times and had someone show us everything we needed to know about parking in the garage and the place. I would definitely look into this place again next time I'm in LA.
