We stayed at Frank’s place for the July 4th weekend and it was a great experience, from start to finish. Stay here if you’d like a great place to start your day and to rest and relax at the end of your day, in a great location (with easy street parking!). Frank and Frank’s place has started to make me think about how to set up my own place in the future. For more, continue reading below.
To start, Frank was very flexible with check-in - due to last minute work schedule changes, we couldn’t get to Frank’s place until 11pm, and Frank was responsive and super understanding of the situation. Check in included a personal tour of the accommodations and a very useful discussion about traveling about LA for our situation.
Frank’s place is just as seen in the pictures - well decorated, tasteful, very modern. The bed was amazing. Zero-g mode was an experience all it’s own. After a day out and about, the rest was the best I’ve ever had in an Airbnb and better than most hotels even. Additionally, when my brother injured his leg and we forgot to buy tape, Frank dug around and found medical tape + bandages for us.
Although we didn’t partake much, Frank also had a full breakfast setup - oatmeal, cereal, tea, etc. Also, a full assortment of different brands of coffee, and a whole bunch of bottled water plus filtered water, an essential for LA.
Located in a quiet neighborhood north of Sunset junction, it was easy to visit all the great places to dine out nearby via a quick 1 mile walk. Driving to downtown (which we needed to do) is also a quick 20min without traffic, 30-40min with. Frank had a great tip for getting free parking (with some patience and effort) near the convention center.
Besides all the above, one of the reasons chose an Airbnb near Silverlake was to learn more about the area, and I had a wonderful conversation with Frank and his girlfriend about the history of the area that expanded to cover recent developments in LA and a whole lot more.
If you still can’t tell, I loved my stay with Frank and I’m sure you will too. =)
