Our stay at Vanessa’s place was good! Our flight arrived very early in the morning and Vanessa allowed us to check in 2 hours before the stated time. The process was super easy and Vanessa and Duy always replied within minutes!
Upon entering the Airbnb, we immediately saw the bedroom and tv. Though, there was a bit of a weird smell when we entered the room. They provide a small tv with Netflix which was enjoyable for any down time we were able to have and the closet and sink are very close by. The mini fridge and microwave were helpful for heating up and storing leftovers!
Since we visited during the beginning of January, Los Angeles was a bit chillier and the Airbnb was colder on the first night. We asked Vanessa if the heat could be turned up and she kindly adjusted it for us and even provided a space heater for the following nights. We were excited about the shower since so many people had raved about it in reviews. The shower was good, however, the water flow was light on the faucet above the shower so, we had to use the hand held shower head and if we wanted to use it hands free, we were backed up against the corner of the shower. It was a pretty nice, renovated shower though! One downfall of the bathroom is that the door doesn’t shut all the way. We did have ample privacy since the entire Airbnb itself is its own private room and bathroom connected to the back of the house.
Since walls are thin between our room and their portion of the house, not a lot of noise could be made during the day if they were not at home or else their dog will bark. Otherwise, the stay is quite peaceful.
We did have a rental car for the duration of our stay and since street parking was regulated, Vanessa and Duy let us park on their driveway overnight as long as we moved our car by 7:30 the next morning so they could go to work.
Overall, Vanessa and Duy were very kind hosts and provided a comfortable space for us to stay in. The neighborhood is fairly safe compared to other cities in LA so, we recommend staying here if you are visiting the area!
