My girlfriend and I stayed at Alex's place for two nights and had an absolutely amazing experience. This was our first time in LA and the first day we got there, Alex sent us a whole list of restaurants and places to see. Every place we were able to make from his list of recommendations was awesome.
The location of the Airbnb is also perfect. You're close to all the popular LA sites but also far enough away that it's not super crowded and rowdy at nighttime. The neighbourhood was really safe as well and we didn't feel uncomfortable walking around in the night.
We can't recommend this place enough!
