It was the first time we have used Airbnb and after such a great experience we will definitely be using it again. The accommodation was just as we expected. It was super clean and had a lot of little extras we were not anticipating. The bed was super comfortable, better than any hotel bed. Having a washer/drying was a huge plus. Having a fully supplied kitchen (there was all the cooking utensils you could need as well as some food if you got stuck) was great too because it meant eating out was optional and a relaxing dinner in was a possibility. The place felt like a home away from home.
The location was perfect - close to the high ways and in walking distance to the Metro bus/trains. Most of the popular tourist destinations are close by which was a huge bonus.
Our host Gerald, was very pleasant and helpful. He had great tips for places to go as well as the local spots to see. He was there when we needed him, while leaving us to go and explore.
If you are staying in LA and need a place to stay this is the spot. Fingers crossed it will be available for my next trip to LA.
