It was my first time in an AirBnB and kind of a first time in LA. I have to say that there were a few things that made the difference: first one location!
You feel you are in a neighborhood surrounded with beautiful houses, but a few blocks away you are on the 3rd with excelent food choices specially for breakfast, very near The Grove (recommend to go at night), Whole Foods, CVS and Samy's Camera for those who like to shop for photography.
It is also next to LACMA museum and a couple more. All from a walking distance.
The other thing I did like is that you felt like coming home. At least a first time for me compared to the life of hotels.
Would defenitively return if I was to come back to LA!
