We had a great stay and are forever thankful to Mark and his wife that they accepted our reservation request on very short notice due to a problem with our other airbnb... We contacted Mark in the afternoon and he rushed home after work so we could check-in in the evening. THANK YOU!
The loft is gorgeous as you can see in the photos. It is not cheap - but the location is great and you have the entire loft for yourself... so the price is justified. Skid row is VERY close and we walked right into it on our way to arts district. We kept walking a bit and then decided to make a little detour because we weren't so comfortable walking passed all the homeless people... I don't think it is dangerous (at least during the day) but still you may wanna avoid it.
The apartment is still in a good location, you just need to know what direction to walk :) the old windows are very thin and you basically hear everything (and the fire truck and other sirens go off quite often). But with ear plugs all is good!
Would totally stay there again!
