My 4 friends and I stayed here for two nights. We mainly chose it due to its conveniently close proximity to downtown where we had tickets to see a concert (about a 10 minute Uber drive). In other words, this was just a quick trip, but we were pleasantly surprised with the high quality of the home. Everything has been recently updated with fresh paint, washer & dryer machines, a/c units in all the rooms, floor heaters if needed, a large flatscreen Samsung smart TV, great counter space, fridge & gas stove.
The beds were very comfortable and the linens were very soft & seemed in very clean condition. The communal space was large and had two great hang-out patios in the back as well as the front. Parking is free and on a dirt lot at the bottom of a large staircase (parking is right off of the street. You then walk through a gate, up 58 stairs passing two houses along the way, and the Airbnb is at the very top nestled into the hillside). Despite the walk up, it has a beautiful view of downtown LA - especially at sunset it was incredible.
The host was quick to respond via messaging on the app & even went out of the way to leave my group 2 gallons of fresh water in the fridge. The kitchen has all the utensils, bowls, cups, plates, etc. that you might need - even olive oil & salt & pepper. You’ll have to bring your own coffee grounds though.
The ONLY thing that I would not give 5 stars is the WiFi. Two of my friends are from Europe and needed WiFi to use their phones, but the WiFi in the house only worked MAYBE a few hours out of the 48 we were there. Very spotty and unreliable. This is especially important as the TV is WiFi based and didn’t work at all considering the lack of internet. To be fair, the host did reach out to customer service and tried to reset the modem remotely, but it didn’t seem to do anything…worked for about 10 minutes.
All in all, though, I would highly recommend staying here if you’re passing through LA for under a week. Location is great, felt safe & secluded, relatively quite, and beautiful interior.
