The visit out to Los Angeles was the first for myself and my friend, so at first the thought of trying out air bnb seemed to be a scary risk to take on a trip to a new, unfamiliar place. But my friend and I were up to have that experience like you see in advertisements and we were not disappointed. Our host was very accommodating and provided us with tips and information that helped us focus our activities, which in a city like Los Angeles can be very useful information. While staying there, we got to know her and her friends which was a treat since it was a calm, easy way to meet people from there and get to really learn about fellow Americans who have different backgrounds. The accommodations themselves were comfortable and there was no issue at all. All that being said, this is a great value, a great place to stay, and is run by a great host who really seemed to care how our visit went. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to any traveler looking to explore Los Angeles.
