Carrie's GuestHome was my first airbnb experience. The home, accommodations, and overall experience exceeded my expectations. Carrie and her son defied the warm, welcoming, and protective nature I was searching for from a host, particularly during this specific trip to LA. I have stayed with friends and family in the past and also corporate hotels. Neither left me with the authentic feel for living on my own in LA, as I have been exploring during my transition to relocate. Staying in Carrie's guest home filled this important step for me and I couldn't have imagined a better scenario. I was given my privacy and respected hers as well; however our few exchanges over my week's stay, including our chat prior to my arrival, played a pivotal role in my overall comfort and satisfaction. Carrie is an inspiring and beautiful woman (100% accurate to her profile)! I felt at home in the mornings when I woke up and when I returned at the end of long days out. Knowing Carrie and Tyler were next door or a phone call away if I needed anything left me at ease and added to my retreat. A home away from home is never a true authentic experience without the feeling of having a friend next door. Thank you Carrie and Tyler - I'm grateful for the kind and thoughtful, gracious energy you exuded effortlessly.

The bed was unbelievably comfortable and home was immaculately clean. I had convenient parking, a full and remodeled kitchen, comfortable sitting area with pull out couch and television, heat, fans, and screened windows for fresh air... all that I could control myself when I needed one or the other. Plenty of room and storage space in the bedroom and bathroom, and extra towels and linens. The guest home is mini sanctuary with just enough simplicity and tasteful décor combined. I HIGHLY recommend this home and would any other Carrie hosts. I hope to book with Carrie again in the future, and should I use airbnb in another city after this first experience, I'm afraid my standards will be hard to meet!!
