The listing I stayed in was centrally located, close to major metro and bus stops, and nearby to several grocery stores and a pharmacy. However, the nearest laundromat is three long blocks away--if you're going to be a long-term guest like I was, this is important to know! The room itself was clean, but very sparse. Instead of a blanket there was a sort of gauzy duvet that wasn't warm, so I bought a blanket and some extra pillows. It was also a loud location with a lot of families and children, so be prepared for some late-night tantrums to carry through the walls occasionally. I had only the best roommates and I was thrilled with all of them. You should know before staying here that Anton does not live in the property. I wasn't expecting two roommates, but it ultimately worked out fine. Let me talk about the host, Anton. I believe he has his guests' best interests at heart, but he is sort of disconnected and difficult to reach, especially when I was trying to book the listing. Eventually he did respond to all my messages, but it sometimes took a few days. This is understandable--we're all busy!--but it's good to know if you need to book a room immediately or have pressing questions. Anton also emphasized the rules with me repeatedly upon check-in. I don't mind being reminded, but I felt like I was being talked down to like a child, especially after having read the rules, agreed to them, and been asked to read them again via the app. By the time I got there to check in, I already knew the rules, and didn't need to be told multiple times to take off my shoes. I also wasn't expecting Anton to not be there at all (I thought he lived in the Airbnb) though this was ultimately a good thing because it gave me a chance to get to know my roommates and figure out LA for myself. He also wasn't very open to me having help moving in (a family member helped me the first weekend I was there). Because Anton wasn't ever there except to check new people in, I can't speak too much to his personality as a host. He's definitely intense, but again, he isn't around much, and the dealings I had with him were largely positive (even the intense ones). Be advised he does have multiple listings, so if you're looking for a host to mentor you or guide you around LA or pal around with, he is probably not your ideal host. Be aware if you are a long-term guest that Anton only cleans and restocks when a roommate leaves, so you might want to grab your own TP. It would've been nice to have more bathroom cleaning supplies for this purpose too--I like a clean space, and I stayed there for 8 weeks, so there were a lot of Walgreens runs for me with Lysol wipes, etc. Finally,...
