Mehrdad was an exceptional host. His communication was amazing from the moment we booked his place. He greeted us to personally give keys and a tour. A bottle of wine & flowers were also a nice touch!
West Hollywood is a cool area to stay in especially as our place was one block off Melrose Avenue. Very easy to get an Uber...typically less than five minutes. The neighborhood is great to walk around in too for a morning exercise. Lots of beautiful homes all around. We also walked to the Dash store which is less than a mile from Mehrdad's place. Not a bad walk if it's not too hot. Tons of shopping and restaurants all around. We dined at Taste on Melrose--while it's a little pricey, but well worth it. It's less than a mile from Mehrdad's.
The AC remote controls each room separately which I didn't realize until our second night. Once I got that figured out, we were all nice and chilly for bedtime. Only one TV in the home (which can be rolled into any room). So if you are a TV watcher at night, be prepared that there in only one in the house. Wasn't an issue for us as we weren't there much.
It does take some work to get to the interstate and during peak commute times, traffic will slow you down. Our commute from LAX took over an hour--arrived on a Thursday and in bumper to bumper traffic at 9:30 am. On Sunday morning when going back to the airport at 6:00 am, no traffic and commute took less than 20 minutes. Same goes for getting to Santa Monica beach, prepare for at least an hour to two hours to make this trip of less than 20 miles. Leave early in the morning (10 am or before) when going to the beach. When driving back to West Hollywood from the beach, anytime will be crazy traffic so just be prepared for a long commute.
Overall, our experience in Merhdad's place was really nice. Would stay here again.
