Currently looking at Airbnb and other sites for good deals. Curious what you found and how much you paying per night.
When you’re searching Airbnb, keep in mind that the nightly rate you’re quoted will go up once the cleaning fee and Airbnb’s fee are tacked on. I was seeing about a $30/night difference between what was advertised and what the checkout price would be.
I’m gonna be staying in a 1bedroom studio downtown, and I got it for about $84/night total, after all fees.
In the past, I’ve stayed in the Arts District, but the prices I was seeing were more like $100-$130 a night. For that price, I might as well see what I could find on the strip at an actual hotel.
Downtown seems like a seedier area than the Arts District…. But as long as I’m not walking around late, falling down drunk, with money spilling out of my pockets, I think I’ll be alright.
Just don’t make eye contact or break your walking stride when someone on the street says something to you. Bums, tweakers, or hookers…. Nothing good comes from opening an interaction, so I just don’t.
