An excellent Airbnb experience from start to finish. Lene was the perfect host, always responding quickly, being helpful and very accommodating. The place itself is incredible. Probably the cleanest Airbnb I've ever rented. Very spacious (even bigger than shown in the photos in my opinion) with a HUGE kitchen, bedroom and bathroom (perfect for a couple) and great decor. Having laundry in-unit was a major plus as well, particularly on extended stays. The building is also very secure with a key fob entry and security.
Perhaps the best perk is the location. I've traveled to DTLA a few times now and can honestly say there is no better location to stay in the city. It's right in the heart of it and within walking distance to EVERYTHING. Literally you have the best of everything the city has to offer within 50 feet-few blocks of the front door from restaurants, museums, nightlife, you name it. No need for a car but if you do have one, there is ample/affordable parking within one block (we found 24 hour garage parking one block away for only $10 with Spot Hero). There's also a great Whole Foods a 1/2 block away (practically in the building) and 7-11 about 50 feet from the front door, so very convenient for groceries or other small items needed.
It's also in a very safe, populated and well-lit area of the city. My wife and I felt perfectly comfortable walking anywhere nearby day or night.
The value was great as well. I compared this to a hotel when booking and you literally get at least 4-5x more space and in-unit amenities with Lene's unit for practically same cost. And if you want to check out the city's hotel scenes (there are some great ones), the Nomad (LA's best imo) is literally across the street, Freehand is around the corner, and the Ace Hotel another block over.
Overall, a phenomenal experience in DTLA that cannot be beat. I can't think of a better place to rent in this area.
