If you're reading this, you've stumbled upon the best airbnb in this price range with the best host, and you should book this place before it gets snatched up.
I'm an LA local and stayed here while in between apartment leases, so I can vouch that this place stood the test of time. I've been so happy here that I have rebooked and extended my stay multiple times.
Location: 5 stars. Plenty of restaurants around, a 15 minute walk (2 minute drive) to a big movie theatre at the Westwood Mall, and 15 minute drive to Santa Monica and Beverly Hills (even with the terrible LA traffic). Also just a few blocks away from the 405 (you can't hear it from the air bnb) and close to the 10, so you can get just about anywhere in all of LA pretty quickly.
Amenities: Has everything you need: shower with good pressure, sink/electric stove top, cable tv, and wifi with great bandwidth. The FREE GATED PARKING is a huge selling point here. Street parking is limited to 2 hours during the day and costs money, but you don't have to worry about that since you'll have your own gated parking with elevator access to your floor. Just come prepared with some quarters if you plan to do laundry.
Service/Communication with host: Amir was extremely communicative and always responsive within minutes. In the morning I let him know one of the light bulbs went out, and by the time I returned home from work, it had already been replaced. Considering my extended stay, he was great about checking in with me and was very accommodating.
This is probably my first online review of anything ever, and I feel very compelled to write this whole thing because of how great Amir was during my stay. Definitely happy with my stay and I encourage others to book here as well.
