As many other reviews have mentioned, we found Donald’s place to be pretty much as advertised and very clean and comfortable! We were grateful for the advance information about parking and were lucky enough to be able to park pretty close on the street each time we needed. While some updates could be made to things like the bed frame and shower head for increased value, this place is really a steal for the price.
Another review mentioned dissatisfaction with the pillows provided. We would recommend bringing your own as we did (if possible) if you have specific preferences/needs as the pillows were on the thinner side. We were very comfortable on the mattress which was pretty firm but had a nice slightly cushy topper.
On our first night, there was some sort of event going on about a block away with very loud music until about 2:30 AM. While the neighborhood was very quiet and calm otherwise, we were glad we brought our earplugs just in case as these things can happen in the city. The nice window AC unit also helped immensely with this as the fan provided the perfect white noise. We were able to get a good night’s sleep because of this, only noticing that it was still going on so late when getting up to use the bathroom.
There was one instance where we had trouble getting in late one night with the code and Donald was super quick to respond to help us diagnose the issue. While we ended up figuring it out ourselves after a minute, we were glad to know that he was ready and willing to help within minutes!
Overall, we would definitely recommend booking this Airbnb as it is a nice place to rest your head while visiting LA with a price that can’t be beat! The proximity to the freeway and downtown was just what we needed for our trip and we felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you!
