What a delightful, clean, and private oasis in the heart of urban LA!
Everything about Laura and Scot's place was close to perfect for our three-night stay:
Safe in residential Westchester, with easy access to LAX, LMU, the 405, and LA's sunny beaches;
Completely private, secure entry and interior spaces, including fully private bedroom (with its own sliding doors to the outside), common space with games, books, and cultural guides, bathroom with great shower, comfortable sofa bed, and efficiently functional kitchenette (sink, bar fridge, coffeemaker, hotplate, dishes, utensils, condiments), all tastefully decorated with film and music industry accents;
Lovely, quiet outdoor space with patio and fire pit, with occasional bird song or a visit by Sumi the cat;
Driveway parking for our car within steps of the gate, and no stairs, making getting luggage in and out easy.
Simply wonderful in every way!
A couple of things to keep in mind:
While the neighborhood is and feels extremely safe, including for walking, there aren't many places close enough to walk to, like coffee shops, restaurants, or stores. Like most LA locations, you'll need a car to get to almost anything, though a bike would get you to some necessities.
The shaded patio table and chairs are wonderful, but there is no interior dining space other than the coffee table in front of the sofa. So on the rare occasion of a rainy LA day, you'd have to improvise a bit.
That said, our stay here was one of our best Airbnb experiences ever, and we will eagerly look for it again on future visits.
Thank you!
