Unfortunately this was one of our worst stays in Los Angeles!
The apartment looks as it is displayed on the pictures, but be aware this is rather a youth hostel with private rooms than an Airbnb. The host do not live there and you share common areas with strangers.
Usually that's okay but in this case, something was stolen from a "private bathroom of ours" which has been used by others nonetheless. When I contacted the hosts to clarify this they simply said I should keep looking and they're not responsible. In my opinion a host should guarantee a private room if it's marketed as one.
Also, the wifi in our room didn't work at all, even though there should have been two different spots. For an international traveler, this isn't really cool since we counted on the internet access to plan the route of the next day.
Keeping all that in mind you can have a quite cheap and simple stay in the LA area.
Just leave your valuables in the car since the codes for the rooms all follow the same simple pattern, so I would not count on safety here.
