Mary was great with communications and helped me out with my very first reservation with Airbnb. Unfortunately, I cannot say that my stay at Mary's place was great. The location was okay, maybe 15-20min walk from the main Hollywood area by foot, but the neighborhood didn't seem so safe. Also, the noise that everyone mentioned in their review is true! I did read a lot of reviews before booking this place so I was well aware of it, but I didn't expect it to be this loud. I woke up at least 2-3 times every night. The room was smaller than it appeared in pictures which I didn't really mind. It was a bit cold in the room though. I couldn't find the thermostat and only had one thin blanket to sleep with. I had to wear three layers of clothes to get through the night. I'm sorry to leave a negative review but hopefully it will help someone looking for a place in LA. After reading reviews, I booked this place thinking it would be the perfect place for my trip but it wasn't at all. If you're a light sleeper (I'm not a light sleeper but I still couldn't sleep), or if your biggest concern is safety, then this is definitely not the right place for you.
