City Terrace is a classic somewhat funky LA neighborhood. We were there for New Years, and the great view from the balcony ourtside our place afforded us a magnificent fireworks display! Mostly Latino families in the neighborhood, and it had a very friendly, laid back vibe. Also very convenient to jump on the I-10 freeway or take the Gold Line Metro from Indiana Station where there's free parking (we took it up to Pasadena for Rose Bowl and Rose Parade). Place was immaculate, and beautifully decorated with some very nice art. Heather graciously welcomed us and was always instantly accessible via messenger. Also place was reallly quiet (except for fireworks on New Year's Eve, which were cool.)
Just a word about previous negative review. It refers to what is in fact a tiny blemish fully to be expected in any building outside suburbia. This was one of the best places we've stayed in our international experience with AirBnb. Some people should just stay at the HIlton.
