I loved Alan’s place . The instructions to get in were very clear, and Alan also followed up to make sure I had everything I needed. He has thought of everything a solo traveler might need, and the attention to detail really shows. The location in a quiet residential neighborhood was perfect, especially if you are visiting your kid (as I was) at Occidental College nearby. I 100% agree with all the positive review comments that came before, this is a really special place. I thought one of the reviewers’ comments about the apartment being a mix of a “NY cozy apartment with a Hollywood backyard” as spot on. I’ve stayed at several airbnb places, and Alan is the best host of any I’ve encountered. Its clear he takes pride in the place and wants guests to be comfortable. I would highly recommend to other travelers.
