The place was very nice and clean and my host Deborah was very accommodating. I had a great stay there and highly recommended.

Stayed here for a week and really liked it. A quite and safe neighbourhood. The gps found the place easily. The Treehouse is a separate and private part of the house overlooking the valley. Debra has done a great job decorating the place and for a Scandinavian like me I really liked it. I felt very welcome. Debra is a perfect host.

Debra was an excellent host. The place is exactly as it looks on the photos. It is very clean, quiet and private. I would definitely recommend Debra's place and even stay again if I need to. Better and cheaper than a hotel.

Debra was very quick to answer all my questions via text message. We never actually met her because our schedules didn't line up. All in all it was a cute cozy space, more of a small apartment than a tree house feel. The neighborhood seemed safe, albeit driving down the narrow twisted road was an adventure all on its own! The town of Pasadena was great too, all kinds of cute shops & restaurants!

Debra was amazing! She was so kind and very accommodating! She recommended places for us to go and was very easy to get in touch with. Next time we are in L.A. we will definitely stay with her again! Beautiful home and neighborhood. If I could give more than five stars, I would!

Great Stay

My stay was absolutely wonderful in this beautiful, bright, clean, private and peaceful treehouse space. What a great Airbnb find. Everything was seamless, from communication to checking-in & checking-out. Very much enjoyed meeting Debra :) One of my best Airbnb experiences.

This is our second time staying with Debra. She is an awesome host! A caring individual that presents a clean unique charming and inviting space. It's convenient and smart. There are no hassles and I would recommend this spot over and over. When I'm in so Pasadena. It is where I will always endeavor to stay! Steve Naples

Wonderful peaceful and quiet retreat in the hills of Malibu. Despite the fact that David and Ling are not in town they try everything to help us accommodate. The apartment itself is great for two. Everything there that you need. You need a car because it is up the hills, but we managed to get an uber as well. The only downside is that you hear the adjacent apartment. But Ling and David are working on a solution. In summary I think it is a wonderful place and I would go there again.

David and Ling were very accommodating and helpful! Our favorite thing about staying with them was by far the view! Their home is up the mountain with a morning view that will have you wanting to watch the sunrise Every morning! I think their home is best for a get away to relax and recharge. It would also be nice for a family or 2 couples to rent the top& bottom units at the same time. it seems sooooo far away from the ocean and city but in a reality, you're only 10 minutes away from it all. I also enjoyed their unique books:) I'm a huge reader so I spent almost every morning and night sifting through them. Great people and a great place!

Pictures don't do this beautiful hideaway justice. My wife and I had a wonderful time during our honeymoon.

We had a wonderful time, the place is charming and Owners are very nice people.

Great reateat!!

A little peace of Heaven. If you want to escape for awhile by yourself, this is the ideal place. High up in the canyons and rock steps leading to house makes you feel like your in heaven. Please note if you do not like canyon driving and or are not steady on your feet this would not be a good choice. The winding road sometimes is 10 miles per hour

Great view, great location! Everything was perfect. Nice host! Thanks Ling and David for open their house!

The view is awesome! The house is really homey. We got comfortable as soon as we walked in.

Great little cottage. My sister and I came for a concert and to visit some family friends for the weekend. It's in a quiet location but still walking distance to Abbot Kinney and the shopping/dining there. Thea was very responsive and even though I didn't need to contact her during our stay I felt confident that I could get a hold of her if we needed anything.

The place was incredibly clean and comfortable, highly recommend!

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely time in the cottage of Thea and George. This place is really quiet and cute and also very clean and full of light. The area is just perfect near Abbot Kinney and Venice i would totally recommend this place for a lovely trip in LA. Few drinks and food for breakfast was provided for us and also two cool bicycle so we could hang around in venice and Santa Monica. Also a great dog was around the house which is very fun.

This little cottage is like a work of art - and clean and spacious too. I was only there for one night, on my way to a conference, but thoroughly enjoyed it. It felt like a home away from home (but much more stylish than my real home). Don't forget to add your "graffiti" to the wall that has already been decorated by many past guests!

Was a beautiful cozy little cabin. Just like described. There was no tv (maybe wrong of me to assume there would be) and it was a little cold but probably just because it has been colder temperatures in California. The bed was very firm. I slept like a baby but my partner couldn't quite get much sleep due to the bed. Was a lovely little getaway. Close to the strip and the beach.

This place is so cute and relaxing! It was in a great neighborhood and was very quiet at night. The patio was beautiful and felt private. We enjoyed sitting out there for early morning breakfast and relaxing in the evening. The bikes were convenient and fun to ride up and down the boardwalk. We stayed for a week and loved it! We would highly recommend this cozy cottage if you are visiting Venice Beach!

Such a great experience for my first time using airbnb! Located in the best area of Venice, a quick bike ride down Washington blvd will lead you to many dining and nightlife options. Venice canals & the Venice boardwalk were just a couple minutes away on bike. Moxy was such a sweet and lovely dog and was not a problem whatsoever. Such a quiet and lovely neighborhood, it was much more than we expected. Thank you George and Thea!

George is very nice and friendly. The place is quite clean and comfortable and the garden outside the sweet cottage is terrific! Wonderful experience!

Patrick's home is in a great and convenient downtown location. Patrick provided lots of good recommendations for things to do, see, and eat, which we appreciated. We recommend staying here and if you do, definitely check out the view from the rooftop.

As expected, our second stay in Brian's place was brilliant. We loved how much space there was to relax and it really did feel a bit like a second home. Our only negative for this stay was that the weather was quite hot so we had all the windows open which made it a lovely breeze however were woken up constantly during one of the nights by the construction trucks setting up right outside our window. I'm sure this wouldn't happen all the time but it made for a very broken sleep! Rest assured, I would be back to stay at Brian's place if I were ever in DTLA again.

Great loft! Very clean and safe! So much better than any hotel in the area!!! Everything was a pictured

We loved the place. The decor is very unique and the place was very clean. We ended up not spending very much time on the property but the instructions the host provided was clear and we didn't have any issues. Great stay and definitely recommend.

Brian's apartment was just like the photos. Parking was convenient as it was right next to the building for $6 a day. (Across the flower market). The building was quiet inside but there was some construction going on outside that was noisy for the first couple of days. The location was 20-30 minutes away from most tourist spots. It was in the middle of the fashion district and a few streets away from skid row, overall a safe area.

I am so in love with the industrial style of the apartment. We went to Poopy and Rose which Brian recommends in the binder and we loved it! The DTLA attractions are within walking distance. The last bookstore and Disney Concert Hall are must-see!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time here! There are som many things to love! When you walk in the door it feels like home, it is very well decorated and also very spacious. The large windows are beautiful especially at sunset! There is huge tall bath that is fantastic, and I haven't even mentioned the area. The building is part of a "village" of buildings and in this village there is a market/convenient store, a sushi place, a juice bar, a coffee and pie shop, a Mexican restaurant, a gym, a pool, a lunge area, it's everything you could ever need at your finger tips! This is a really great space an d I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Great host! Very helpful, good communication. Apartment was very clean and pool was amazing!

For my first AirBnB experience I stayed in Martha’s, ‘MY LITTLE PARIS IN L.A.’, and WOW, what a great stay over it was! First, Martha makes it so easy to book. She is so gracious and very informative about what downtown has to offer, and more specifically what was within walking distance of the loft. I took her advice and ate at a four star restaurant a block away. I am a bibliophile, so I truly enjoyed,‘The Last Bookstore’ just around the corner! I didn’t drive-I took the subway in, but a parking space with all day in and out privileges was made available to me, in case a friend wanted to visit. I know parking is a problem in the city and that this amenity alone makes it a find! The loft itself is really stunning! I am a teacher by day and a fine art painter by night, and I must say in my artistic opinion, that this loft is a little masterpiece! With Parisian flair throughout, some cool original surrealistic artwork, sculptures on every shelf, and a rich library of art books, it was hard to leave the space and venture out into the city! When I arrived Martha had a fresh bouquet of flowers waiting for me, (which made for a beautiful still life- that along with a small bust of a girl by Carpeaux in the living room, I drew in my sketchbook!) She also had waters and some chocolate treats (love the Hershey bites!) Every room was so clean: from the metallic shine of the stainless steel kitchen appliances, to the pristine porcelain in the bathrooms to the neatly folded towels and bedsheets. Before I called it a night, I perused through several wonderful editions of my favorite artists: Dali,Klimt,Degas and Rodin that Martha had on the shelves. I picked this loft because of the pictures. But they don’t do it justice. I had a wonderful time in the sometimes chaos of Downtown because I knew I had an oasis of a loft to escape to! I have already told all of my colleagues at school about my little secret: My Little Paris in LA! Thank you Martha for a wonderfully relaxing, and artistically enhancing experience! I can't wait to book another 'staycation' at either of Martha's lofts!

Awesome first time in LA and my first time using air bnb. And I'll admit, I will probably never go back to using hotels, at least in LA. Great place, great location, and most of all a great host! I love this place, and will definitely book again in the future.

Colette was super friendly, helpful and really flexible. Parking was included in the stay and only two blocks away from the apartment. Some of these pictures make the place look a a bit cluttered, but it was not. The Parisian theme made the apartment special and fun! The place was really clean, had a super comfortable bed, and It was walking distance from a lot of restaurants and points of interest downtown. I would definitely stay here again!

Truly a home away from home! Fantastic place every little thing thought of. Collette is a dream to deal with and was extremely helpful and great to communicate with. Only wish I was staying longer. Would never consider staying anywhere else when in LA.

Love her place! Bed is very comfortable and the decoration is very cool! She even gave us a going away gift. Thanks!

Colette was extremely helpful. Her place is absolutely adorable and located in a great part of DTLA. Definitely worth another visit.

What a beautiful room! It was decked to the nines and as if we were staying at a fine hotel. The view was great and the location was perfect. Colette was a gracious hostess as well.

What a great loft! Beautifully decorated, comfortable and filled with all the amenities you need. In a convenient location, a block from the metro and walkable to many great restaurants. Martha is a gracious and accessible host who goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. Will return!

Welcome and inviting. Very helpful.

Spacious, beautiful, private accommodations in Santa Monica. I wish I had been able to stay longer to take advantage of the full kitchen. Very helpful instructions, and convenient garage parking (with a garage door opener on the keyring). I would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for my business trip since my home office is just down the street. Very clean and spacious.

The place was so easy and comfortable! Our flights arrived late but check-in was very simple. Wonderful stay, great value.

Great place, very clean and everything seemed to work just fine. Car in&out was smooth since the room is right in front of the garage. Air conditioning a bit loud using "heat mode" but nothing unusual. Overall, it was a great experience for the three of us - my wife and I plus our 2 years old daughter.

Mary's space was clean and and upscale. It was spacious and had everything we needed.

Mary was a great host! She was very nice and responsive! The place was very nice - modern and well kept! We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect landing place for a night after a long journey by way of LAX

Lydia is really warm, available, and helpful. This is a great spot to hang with friends, watch the stars, have a fire pit, bbq, and meet fellow travelers. It is magical and unique. If you love glamping, this is for you. The ascetic could not be more charming and Lydia made it all herself! If you love meeting new people, this is for you. If you love bugs and lizards (I do), this is for you. If you want to get out of LA for a night under the stars, this is for you. If you want a super private couples retreat, maybe not for you. Charming. Social. Fun. Stars. Lizards.

How do I begin... What an incredible place in the canyon! Lydia and Dean have a very special spot and we feel so lucky to have gotten to spend an evening there. They are both very kind and friendly and their eco charm was very welcomed. They have everything you need, just ask. There are lots of different areas to relax and re-balance, which we took advance of. There's a hiking trail right behind the house that allows you to look both north and south across the canyon. We will be back, thank you so much!

Lydia's property is exactly where I want to live for the rest of my life! Everything was beautiful and unique. I have never seen anyone else do what she has done and she did. Please ask her if she has time to show you the totem pole terrace. She has pieces that guests have come back to do for her and they are amazing. I cannot say enough about this property. Lydia was so kind to us while we were there. The first day my crew arrived there was some unfortunate news that fell on her but she still maintained as a wonderful, gracious host. If you have time you should have a chat with her. Very interesting woman. Thank you so much, Lydia! You made our whole shoot!

I loved Lydia's place. It is exactly what you see in pictures and expect...and maybe even cooler! There is a "sleeping" trailer (with the pretty white bed and table area), a "kitchen" trailer just steps away with a fridge and toaster oven and sitting area, a darling outdoor bathroom (compost potty, sink, outdoor shower), and a huge outdoor living room/deck area with a fire pit, picnic table, and couches. Amazing! You could easily/comfortably have 3 or 4 people use Silver Sky Acres since you get all of this space with your rental fee. It's a great deal and glamping at its best! I only wish we had more time to spend there. (We arrived a little late; traffic was bad on the highway, so you might want to factor that into your travel). The small town at the base of Topanga Canyon has a couple little restaurants; we went to Rocco's...tasty Italian and pizzas!

I love this place Fantastic !!!

We Loved Lydia's Place! She has a great son and two dogs that make the place feel very welcoming. Anyone would be lucky to find this great spot!

Such a unique place, definitely worth seeing and experiencing. Gorgeous views and a great place to "unplug" for a few nights. I would not recommend going during a hot week - it was EXTREMELY hot while we were there. We couldn't stay at the property between the hours of 9 am - 6 pm due to the heat. Sleeping was definitely the most uncomfortable part; we got eaten alive by mosquitos and it was well over 90 degrees all night inside the trailer. I would suggest putting a battery operated fan in there for hot weeks. It was a little less private than I expected but Lydia and her family are super nice and welcoming so that ended up being fine. Overall it was a great experience.

We had a great time staying at Silver Sky Acres! Lydia was very informative and helpful. The trailer we stayed in was clean and well decorated. We used the BBQ on site and had a great dinner after our afternoon hike. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a rustic, away-from-it-all, star gazing time :) Thanks so much for the great stay! S

I had everything that I needed: a big bedroom, and big bathroom and very friendly people to live with. Thank you! :-)

Lovely hosts! Beautiful home, very clean and inviting room. We have no complaints!

We had comfortable 6 nights. Thanks for everything

Great place and so sweet ❤️. Will be coming again !

Clean and cozy! Lynn was very gracious and accommodating :) also her cats and dog are adorable. Comfortably sized bed and room for two people, and bathroom was well stocked and spacious. I like how there was room on top of the bathroom cabinet and a space in the shower to put your toiletries. There's a TV with Netflix in the bedroom too!

Cleanest Airbnb I've stayed so far! I didn't get a chance to meet Lynn but the place was great!

Lynn's place is very beautiful with artistic touches. She is friendly and easy to communicate with. I especially enjoy her adorable cat. Check in and check out are easy. Highly recommended to other travelers.

The home was very clean and comfortable! The bed was incredibly soft and cosy, and the private bath was clean and easily accessible. The host has pets that are absolutely adorable, the cats were very playful and the puppy loved cuddles. The home was conveniently close to the downtown area, which is lovely and very accessible by Uber or Lyft if you don't want to drive. The hosts were very kind and thoughtful, although difficult to contact on the messaging app. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay and I would recommend it to single travelers or couples!

Kate's apartment is as chic, modern and immaculate as the photos make out and set a high bar for our first airbnb experience. It was more like a hotel/serviced apartment experience with clean towels laid out on the bed, spotless rooms and a super comfy bed (the futon was also comfortable for our 8 year old). Kate was very responsive to queries we had throughout our stay. Location was great for our visit to Universal Studios, however, the only draw back is the street noise - there might be a nightclub near by and people shouting from the street lead to one night of very broken sleep. However, this is Hollywood! So if you're looking for a place to stay in the middle of Hollywood, this is the place for you (and if you want something quiet, you'll need to look off the boulevard).

The apartment was in a cool historical building on Hollywood Boulevard, with great communication from the host. It was great having an apartment with a washer/dryer and a parking spot in a monitored parking lot. A downside was having a bar below, but we were so tired from being out all day that it didn't bother us too much. Short walk to a lot of cool places and hiking areas, and getting an Uber anywhere was still super cheap. Would stay here again!

The apartment was very nice. It's located very close to Hollywood & Vine hence close to many of the historic sites of old Hollywood. The district has, of course, changed so now the street life is a little more edgy and the shops a little seedy. But the apartment block is newly renovated, very nice and seemingly quite safe. There is a bar in the basement but the sound is just a pleasant backdrop by the time it wafts up to the second floor where the apartment is located. The space is nicely decorated and spacious with a comfortable bed, a good kitchen and a very adequate bathroom. The problems we had there were not about the space or the location but about the host's inattention to detail. The apartment was clean but there were a few dirty cups and glasses on the kitchen counter which we found off-putting. The parking permit was missing and despite numerous texts and emails from two different people (with completely different stories ) it never did appear. We were then promised a rebate on the parking fees we paid. However that has not happened. The internet was also a problem. A "House Manual" that arrived embedded in the reservation confirmation had the wrong network name. When this was communicated we were told there were two networks and the password we had was for the other. There seemed to be no concern for either us or that other guests would undoubtedly encounter the same erroneous info. So although the apartment was nice ...and good value... we were disappointed that the supposed hallmark of Airbnb (i.e. attentive hosts who care about their guests' experience )was not very much in evidence.

Apartment was tidy and in a good location on hollywood boulevard. Walking distance to main attractions. Kitchen with everything you needed if you decide to cook. Great to have access to a washing machine and clothes dryer. Also a large walk in style cupboard to hang and store clothing. Apartment is above a bar/Club and restaurant. Loud music and people outside the window until approx 3am every night. Difficulty with check in process as door was locked on arrival and we had to buy an international sim card to contact air bnb and the host. Resulted in an hour wait in the corridor for someone to come and unlock the apartment. Difficulty with working the shower resulted in maintenance coming to have a look at the shower and changing the shower head. Would have been nice to have more than 1 towel each for showering for 4 days and also some hand soap in the dispenser for washing hands. There is no tv which for us we didnt mind as we were out and about each day anyway but for people who like a tv this is not available.

Kate's place was more than we expected. Especially when it came to location! It's a lovely old place with a lot of history. And as we stepped out of the house, we already saw the first stars of the famous walk of Fame. The place was exactly as described,a whole apartment with a kitchen and a washer/dryer. Although it could get a bit noisy outside at night, we were so tired after a day of exploring, it didn't bother us at all. The place was more than tidy and so privat, we loved everything about it :) Kate left clear instructions how to get into the apartment and also reminders of what not to forget when we leave, which made everything very easy. And she was very easy to reach, whenever we had any questions. Thanks for the great LA experience, Kate!

Really nice and convient apartment. Easy to find the park place and the kitchen got everything we need. The host is very kind and give us handy help. I will choose to live here again next time!

Good central location! Very clean and the big bed is super comfy!!

Not worth the price at all. The host could not be contacted, ignored all my calls, and doesn't reply msgs. The neibourhood was really noisy even after midnight. Let alone all sheets look old and not clean.....not good experience.....

Susan was very sweet. We loved the location of the villa. it was so close to Huntington beach and many attractions. We loved watching the sunset from the living room! The villa was very beautifully decorated as well. Thank you Susan!

Before, during, and after our visit, Susan was always a phone call, or an SMS away.. The day we arrived, our keys were in the lockbox as instructed, but Susan still made a point to stop by and welcome us in person (a pleasure meeting you Susan). The place itself is charming, touches of thoughtful decorations in every corner. We had everything we need including entertainment (full size appliances, cable or satellite tv -not sure which it was), and a gorgeous backyard setup and patio) The location also is very convenient, grocery and farmer market within walking distance, and more importantly for our 7lbs morky, is that it was also a walking distance to the only pet friendly beach in the Los Angles county!

The house was beautiful and right on the water. Susan was very welcoming and easygoing. We loved staying here and being so close to both the ocean and everything that's going on in Long Beach! It was amazing.

Talk about a View! This place is gorgeous and is right in the center of where you want to be. I'd recommend this property to anyone.

We spent a lovely Thanksgiving break in Susan's rental. It is a beautiful home and was perfect for our needs. We were able to prepare our full Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen and take a lovely walk on the beach after stuffing ourselves. This is a lovely home and we will definitely come back for our next visit to LGB.

Good place! Beatiful View!!

Susan's place was great! Easily accessible and within walking distance of some great stuff! She was flexible when our parking situation changed and was available by phone and text. The location could not have been better. Also, she's generous with towels and there were nice personal touches. Gorgeous property! Would love to rent the whole thing for a family gathering.

Great home.

Great place! Will be staying again.

Nice and clean room

The price does reflect the fact that there are so many people potentially sharing the rooms - this is a hostel-style setup. I'll put it this way - in retrospect, my expectations of getting any sleep here on NYE was just not realistic. We were told by a family friend from the area that the part of town wasn't very safe, and at least from an impression from walking around for a bit, it wouldn't be the type of place I'd want to walk and bus around after dark. I did pick up some of the best fresh spicy salsa of my life at the latino market a few blocks away, so that was a neat bonus. I thought the beds were fine comfort-wise, but if you're over 6' or picky you'd probably not be pleased. Andy was super nice and honestly, he prices completely fairly - the stay was absolutely nothing special, but you can't get much cheaper in LA, so that's to be expected. YMMV.

Andy is very nice. The home is comfy and clean. The transportation is convenient. Really a good experience.

Great stay fast and easy booking , host has amazing communication . Would love to book again !

Andy is a very gracious host and very welcoming. He offered a $10 parking on his property when we couldn't find parking on the street. Beds were comfy but we didn't read far enough into the comments to see that this was a hostel style environment. If you are going with a group, I wouldn't recommend this since you can get a hotel for the same price and not have to share with other housemates, but if you are a lone traveler or with one other person then this could be a good option for you and definitely worth the value - close to downtown, $10 parking available, Wifi, Netflix.

Andy was cool, he made sure everything was okay, and readily available if needed. And the area is ok.

All good

Great location and lovely apartment, very convenient, and Michael is very helpful.

Absolutely loved the apartment & the ease of booking it with great communication. Michael could not do enough to help us have a great stay, the location is second to none everything is right on your doorstep, pool is nice & private and nice place to relax! This apartment Made our trip to Hollywood one to remember.

The location is reallllly good! The room is beautiful with everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay.

Communication with Michael was very easy, it responds very quickly. The apartment is ideally located for sightseeing and is suitable for a family of 4 with 2 children. The children enjoyed the pool! In point of improvement, cleaning is done too superficially and you want to take meals on site, the equipment in the kitchen is minimal. We had a pleasant stay!

I stayed at his place with my colleague. It was great place and I had a wonderful time there! His team was very friendly! I definitely cone back here!!

Michael was a pretty nice host. He ensured we get welcomed at the door by his assistance. The location is amazing especially if you´re travelling with a car -> garage spot included. Can highly recommend this location

We highly recommend this apartment for several reasons - the location as it is 100 meters from the Walk of Fame, close to Universal Studios, Beverly Hills ... - The apartment is beautiful, spacious and well equipped (washing machine) - The swimming pool - Hospitality and availability of our host - Ample parking underneath. For us, it was perfect.

We have stayed in many Airbnbs across the country. Never really had any trouble at all. This one a little different. The Air conditioning wasn't working. One of the guys had to leave to stay in a hotel. It was 90 degrees in the house. Michael Offered a discount on the rate. So we checked out and I waited a little bit and never heard from him. I sent him an email asking if we could get the discount he promised and he ignored the email for 4 days. I then sent him an email stating that I would like to work it out so I didn't have to leave a bad review. He responded immediately accusing me of threatening him and then ignored my next emails. He never intended to give us a refund. I just don't deal well with people not keeping their word. Another problem to be aware of is if you are in a larger party of people (we had 3) there is only 1 key to place and gate. You all have to be there at the same time, you can't leave separately or you can't get in.

Darrel was a great host! The place is very clean, stylish, and in a perfect location in Downtown Los Angeles! I wish we had more nights to spend there and explore the city.

Darrel was very accommodating and professional. The unit was most appropriate for our needs. We did inconvenienced him a bit by checking out late -- an oversight on my part for which I apologized. I will recommend him to others.

Listing description very accurate, great host. Loft was clean and convenient. Would recommend to friends.

Great location, very safe with friendly door-people and easy check-in. Very comfortable beds in this basic studio. We slept really well despite street noise, as there is fan we used to block out the noise and slept really well. Very basic kitchen amenities (only one cereal bowl), so if you're looking to cook or eat there, might inquire about your needs ahead of time and maybe can be accommodated, but not part of the standard offering. Very friendly host who offered some tips in the neighborhood to see great views and take in local culture.

Very good location of the apartment in the city center, near the metro and trendy bars and restaurants. The apartment is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. Darrel and his assistant, Suleyma were very well disposed to answer our questions and concerns. Thanks for having us.

Darrel's place was in the perfect location for my brief trip to Los Angeles -- I was there for a concert at the Ace Hotel, and hotels in the vicinity were double the price. It was also a working holiday for me, so it was great that the Internet connection was fast and reliable -- I was able to get work done without a hitch. There's an excellent Mexican coffee place right around the corner -- definitely try a horchata latte if you stay here!

Great place, highly recommended!

Darrel is very helpful, the apt is beautiful, he recommended us some cool places to go. We had a lot of fun there! But the area doesn't seem too safe(we heard police and ambulance siren at least 3 times a night), try to avoid walking around at night if you don't know the area too much!

I could have good time and the house was clean so I would recommend!

The place is great! You can feel the vibrant vibes of multiculturalism all over the house. For so many people sharing the place, everything is absolutely clean and Constance was always a message away ready to answer doubts.

Was just what I needed for my trip. Was close to convention center and had a comfy bed.

You'll meet lots of people here and enjoy a clean room.

Thanks for being such a great host. I found everything that I needed/wanted around the house, and found that Constance was very vigilant about keeping the house in order (be it tidiness, friendliness, communication). This is a great place to stay if you are travelling by yourself as you will meet nice people too. Thanks again.

Fantastic for the price!

Great place to stay

Good vibes, very clean.

Marat's place was very nice and relaxing. Was easy to get in touch with him when needed. Great host

My stay at Marat's was excellent! I couldn't ask for a better location near downtown. The room is actually located in a huuggee apartment complex so it's safe, clean, and convenient. Beautiful balcony view from the upper floor. The pool and gym was also wonderful! One of the best things about this apartment is that it comes with one guaranteed parking spot in their private parking garage that's close to the elevator. Although English is not our host's primary language, we had no trouble communicating with him. Marat is very quick to respond! Overall, the room is exactly as it is in the pictures. For the price we paid, this is a GREAT find! Will definitely stay here again!

Amazing place! Marat was a great host. From the time of booking, arrival, stay and post stay, the communication was A+. The place was just as listed. Clean, spacious, modern and much more. Comfortable bed. Clean bathroom. Balcony overlooking water fountain. Amazing pool, jacuzzi and fitness center. Private gated parking that you need a key to enter. Will definitely stay here again.

Ben's place was simply incredible. We felt like we were at home. At first, I was concerned about the area. When I told local friends where I was staying, they said it had a history of gang violence. Well - I soon found out that was way in the past. The neighbors were extremely friendly. I got so comfortable by the end of the stay, that I was OK with my daughters coming and going at night. This place is very comfortable and has everything you need for a short or long term stay. Even when we had minor issues, Ben was on it fast. I'd hear from him or his staff within 5 minutes. Location: I had no idea it was so close to downtown, The Grove and Hollywood - where I was working. LA is legendary for bad traffic but there were several freeways nearby. It made it easy to get around. I highly recommend this property.

I loved how modern and clean the condo is. The unit is fenced all around. Just a heads up, there are two bedrooms with only one closet. I had a party of six and we all shared the same closet.

Simple accommodation adjacent to downtown (15 min walk). Rather rough area but no safety problem on the streets around.

Buyer beware.

Flexible with check-in time. Provided info about the surrounding area. Low-fuss accommodations with comfy beds!

The hostel is very nice and Isamu let us leave the bags there so we didn't have to carry them the day after our stay.

Room was alright, a little bit stuffy due to summer, the portable air condition helped a little. Toilet and bathroom are shared. Host is very friendly and helpful.

Nice room, not the better street but it's not dangerous

Isamu is a good host, place was exactly as described, clean, good value. Accidentally walked thru skid row on my first night, so best to Uber/Lyft in and out. The place itself is not on skid row, but best avoid 7th to 3rd street on foot. Otherwise, enjoyed the stay.

It was a great stay in his hostel Thank you!

My stay at Juan's place was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and easy, and he even offered some wonderful recommendations for things to do in the area. Not only was Juan a great host, but his home was exceptional as far as Air BNB experiences go.

Juan's place is just as described cozy and has the basic necessities. He is very easy to reach, reliable, and kind. The parking can be difficult and the neighborhood has a lot of culture and is right outside of downtown. Research the neighborhood before you decide!

Summary: Well-kept apartment, not the most pleasant neighborhood, great and helpful host. Location: it's tricky. General location is quite good, 1 mile walk to Downtown, 10 min to buses and metro (red line directly to Hollywood and Universal Studios), good connections for cars as well. But the local neighborhood is another matter: dirty, poor houses, homeless people... Which is probably a significant side of Los Angeles, just depends if you actually want to see it. The apartment: the apartment block is old, but the host did everything in his power to make the flat cosy and comfortable. Although you can see that he had to impovise with certain things (and you might have too, if you want to shave and Juan didn't put a mirror in front of the sink yet). In general the apartment has everything that you might need. Neighbors don't bother you at all. The view: there is none. Then again, sun doesn't torture you. The host: this is the best part of this offer. Good guy, very friendly, responds immediately, will help you with anything, even agreed to let me pick up my luggage after the check out.

Juan's one of the nicest hosts I've had - extremely kind and accommodating. Location is right downtown without having to go through all that traffic every time you need to access it.

After being told that the apartment used to be a hotel, I found that Juan has already tried all his best to keep the apartment clean and tidy. To be honest, living in an apartment like this makes me feel sooooo local and just like that in the series 'Big Bang Theory'. Juan is such a nice host that even now I'm still feeling so sorry for my late at the first day. The whole room was sooooo clean that I could say, Juan is a really nice and careful host. His hospitality makes me feel like home. I think his kids in school are so lucky that they have Juan as their teacher. He's so carful and considerate! The location of the apartment is also really nice, you can reach to the metro or bus in 15 minutes by walking. And I also recommend a restaurant called 'Sabor Colombiano' near the apartment Anyway, it was really a nice experience with Juan. I've recommended it to all my friends. Hope one day I could come back to LA with this lovely appartment

Juan was one of the nicest hosts we ever came across. He gave us so much good advice, was always available when needed and was so kind all the time. His cozy little apartment is equipped with all you need and you can feel very comfortable and like home. It's situated so close to downtown you can walk there easily and visit all the sightseeing spots in DTLA by foot. If we're ever in town again, we'd love to come back!
