After weeks of searching AirBnb for the best apartment possible for our vacation, I found Hermine’s apartment, and it did not even come close to disappointing us. It is just as beautiful and clean as it appears in the pictures.
THE BEDROOM/COMMON AREA:
The apartment is basically a studio, but the layout makes it seem much larger. The bed is huge and very comfy. This made it hard to not take naps all the time. The pillows on the bed were perfect. I’m not sure where Hermine got them from, but they felt like clouds underneath my head. We didn’t use the sitting area as much as we could have, but the chairs seemed pretty comfy. The closet is huge and has a ton of extra blankets and pillows if you need them (we didn’t).

THE KITCHEN:
We didn’t use this much (other than the mini fridge), but it seemed really nice and well stocked (not with snacks, but with basic necessities like coffee and tea). We used the toaster oven a couple of times and it worked perfectly.
THE BATHROOM:
There are multiple bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner available for guests to use. Did I mention the shower is incredible? Because it is. It has a rain-head AND an attachment (I didn’t know these existed outside of those home renovation shows but they do and now I want one)! I honestly took a couple of showers just for relaxation purposes. The bathroom itself is super clean and nice and is pretty much the poster child for what the ideal bathroom looks like (without a bathtub, but the shower more than makes up for it!).
LOCATION:
It was perfect for us. We went to Disneyland and Universal Studios, so it’s almost in the middle of the two. It’s about a thirty minute drive to Universal and an hour to Disney (but it always felt much shorter than an hour). There’s a Starbucks and a local pharmacy within walking distance. The neighborhood is really nice, but we didn’t walk around much (the house is on a steep hill and I’m out of shape/I have asthma).
Hermine’s apartment was fantastic. She’s very sweet, responds quickly to any questions you have, gives you plenty of privacy, and is not overbearing at all. We loved it and we were sad to leave, but if we come back to LA again (we probably will) we’d be more than happy to stay here again. Thank you Hermine!
