As a solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable in my first AirBNB experience at Jim's place. It was budget friendly and in a great location near places to eat, near a grocery store if you preferred to cook, and near places to site see in Hollywood and experience such as the Playboy Jazz Festival. I had a room to myself which was spacious and clean. It was convenient to have free WIFI and a TV in the room, but wished I could have seen the local news/live television when I used it. The House Rules and youtube videos in his description of his place helped a lot in understanding his expectations, and gave some familiarity to what to expect before arriving to his place. Other than waiting in the morning for my time to use the shared bathroom, I hardly saw any of the other guests. I appreciate having the off the street parking for my rented car. Street parking was tight. Though I never met him in person during my 5 day stay, through texts messages and emails, Jim (or his partner) was timely in his responses to my questions and was accommodating to my requests.
