Its a very clean good looking building, and everything is taken care of which is amazing. The area is totally fine - yes there’s homeless people, but you have them everywhere in LA and theyre pretty much harmless - it was pretty close to down town and a train station and the communication with the host is good :) It is a noisy building though, so you will hear the people in the room next to yours but this is mentioned on the airbnb page and its not that annoying unless theyre actually loud! Despite this I would definitely recommend this place!
