I have stayed in Los Angeles a handful times and this was definitely my favorite location. I enjoyed being close to the beaches - Santa Monica, Venice, Manhattan and Hermosa. I highly recommend exploring other beaches beyond Santa Monica. Very close to public transportation and Uber was extremely reasonable. Jo was kind, accommodating and responsive.
As far as the amenities/location go, it is the best bang for your buck. Keep in mind there is no A/c so you will have to keep windows propped and blinds slightly open to increase air flow. This didn’t appear to be a major issue at first as I was barely there. However, it matters as far as privacy goes whether that meant changing clothes and having quieter conversations. Entering the Airbnb itself is easy, no key which is great. It’s a pad lock. I had most things I needed. I had towels and water bottles refreshed mid stay. There are even beach towels! The only major amenity missing is a full length mirror.
I recommend Jo for a quality introduction to Airbnb!
