Raymond's place was great– the accommodations are simple, clean, and were great for my purposes of a place to crash with my partner. The neighborhood is very quiet (in a good way) and close to public transportation, although if you haven't been to LA before, know that the transport is a little spotty at night. Ubers to most places were all under $30, with the exception of about $35 to Disneyland. Only a relatively short walk away from the fashion district. I didn't see Raymond too much, but he and his roommate were very kind and friendly whenever I ran into them. This was my first AirBNB, and despite my hesitation, was an incredibly positive experience that I would highly recommend.
