I stayed at Darren's airbnb for about 3 months as I was working in the Westwood (UCLA) area. It was a commute, but I wanted to live in this area because of the proximity to the Hollywood neighborhood. The space is ideally located near the Grove and Beverly Center (shopping), LA County Museum of Art, and La Brea Tar Pits. A 7/11, Starbucks + good sushi just a short walk up the block. Neighborhood is great for exploring-- beautiful LA homes, can walk to La Brea Bakery, frozen yogurt, cute dinner and breakfast spots. Basics that you are looking for are IDEAL: bed is comfortable, a/c works well, area is QUIET, water pressure is good, both shower and tub available, washer + dryer + detergent are on the premises and always available, oven, microwave, any kitchen items, towels, etc etc are in place. You can park in driveway or on the street with no issues. The street is busy and driveway is steep, so I sought to park around the street corner, which was not a big deal. I LOVED sitting in the outdoor space with Darren's dog (small, white, adorable, so friendly) keeping me company. The outdoor space pictured is basically the living room. Fireplace is operational and is very romantic. The outdoor living room connects to a larger garden, which is just adorably decorated. Darren goes OUT OF HIS WAY to make you feel comfortable. BUT, he is a good gauge of when you want to be on your own and is a busy guy with his job. He made GREAT recommendations. I ended up finding a good salon + gym (work out with his trainer!!) and I already miss the space and our chats. Of course, the pictures posted on the site are for magazine or websites. The place has been selected for a large number of photo shoots and magazine ads for a reason!
