I travel a lot. And, I stay in lots of hotels and rentals. Also, I'm incredibly picky. I look for accommodations that are clean, spacious, modern, well-designed, comfortable, safe, and luxurious...all within my budget. So when I saw Keren's place, I was intrigued by the gorgeous photos and glowing reviews, but I figured it couldn't live up to the hype. After my stay, I have to say THIS PLACE IS MAGICAL! Sorry to get all shouty in a review, but everything exceeded my expectations. A few notes:
1. The shower, alone, makes it worth your stay. Spa-worthy, spacious, amazing.
2. Everything looks brand new, from the furnishings to the appliances.
3. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. I went for my morning walks with no concerns.
4. The attention to comfort - from the bed linens, to towels, to that huge bedroom closet, was so great.
5. The outdoor area is an unexpected bonus, perfect for sunny LA.
6. Keren is a lovely host - she and her kids stopped by the night I checked in, and I felt cared for and that I could reach out anytime.
7. Since I'm pregnant, I worried a little about the bathroom being down the stairs from the bedroom since I have to pee about 20 times per night. It ended up being fine, not something that bothered me in the least.
I'm begrudgingly writing this review because I travel to LA several times a month, and I hate to give away the secret about how great this place is, but selfishness aside, you will love this place, and if it's available during your time in LA, BOOK IT. You won't be sorry. Perfect for picky travelers like me.
