I honestly think that Ben's place is one of the best deal that you can find in LA for plenty of reasons:
1- The position is AMAZING, it is 20 minutes from LA DT, 15 minutes from Santa Monica DT (where you can reach with a nice walk Venice Beach ), 20 minutes from Hollywood and 15 from Beverly Hills - modulo traffic, you know LA ;-) -
2- You have a FULL big apartment in a very nice neighborhood. It is well furnished and very very clean, also you have a private parking lot!
3- The prices is simply great.
4- Ben is a great guy: very kind and responsive to messages. He even suggested us couple of things to do in LA.
Will consider for sure this Airbnb again for our next trips to LA.
Grazie Ben! :-)
