First and foremost the listing means nothing without the host...Renata responded immediately within 24 hours of acceptance period even though I live abroad in Italy. The AirBnB app was very helpful with its instant messenger feature, we were able to communicate effeciantly and Renata answered all questions prior to arrival. The day of arrival, Renata welcomed me and my daughter and insisted on parking my rental vehicle in her private stall which was also convenient. The apartment was just what I was looking for, simple with bathroom and a full size shower, a full sized bed and kitchen with fridge which is a nice size compared to European standards. We planned on travelling daily and only needed a place to refresh for the next day, this was the perfect spot. Additionally, Renata offered us refreshments and would briefly refer on local places to go, resteraunts etc which was very helpful as well. My daughter even mentioned she has a nice smile. Overall I felt safety for me and my daughter to where I wouldn't have to worry about any crime whatsoever. Travelling out to a destination is easy, the freeway is not even 5 mins away and the beachside is only 15mins. Great spot to go to especially on your first visit to LA. Highly recommendation to Renata's apartment!
