The neighborhood was seedy, urbane and hip - just the way I like it. The restaurants nearby are cool and the food is good. Whole Foods, just a few blocks away made it easy to stay in when I wanted. The building and unit were like new, clean, well furnished and nice enough that I regreted having to go home. I travel to LA every week and intend to never stay in a hotel again. This was my first Airbnb, so I was nervous about how it all works, but the instructions were clear and complete, Alex was very responsive to questions and getting in the using the electronic access codes worked great. Save me a place - I'll be back!
