This was my first time using Air BnB, and what could've been a terrible experience turned into a great one. A couple staying at the rental mistakenly took my room key before I arrived, and I ended up staying at a hotel my first night because it was late and I was initially unable to get ahold of Mary. Fortunately, Mary/Air BnB refunded me for my hotel stay, and my other four days in LA were fantastic! The space is cozy, clean and comfortable. While you do share a bathroom with other renters, everyone was very mindful of keeping it clean. The area around the rental is safe. I never felt unsafe walking back to the rental, even after dark. While some people on here have mentioned noise, it was mostly quiet during my stay (although to be fair it was during the week). All in all, it was a wonderful stay, despite the initial mixup. I would definitely rent here again! Thank you Mary and Air BnB customer service for being so accommodating.
