This is my very first Airbnb stay.
I'll list the pro's and cons:

pro's:
- The host communicated very clearly, looks like it's a staff and part of a larger rental company (which is cool with me).
- The location was really good, if you have sneakers you can walk to the Hollywood walk of fame (or just a short Uber ride).
- The place was very large and had 2 bathrooms
- The price was good
- Our heat was out (not a pro) but the maintenance guy deserves special mention. He was super friendly and took care of our issue quickly.

The Con's:
- The NOISE. This was mentioned before but I figured it was during "party season" and not in January when I went. I was wrong. I would not stay here again because of this one issue which could be easily fixed. Replace the single pane windows with some new double thick ones and it would make a world of difference.
- The beds were super squeaky (normally I would not say anything about this but when you are rooming with someone and you roll over and it wakes the other person up it's an issue).

Phillip, if you are reading this fix those two issues and you have a winner on your hands.
