I walked into Tony's bungalow through a gate of a quiet street, not knowing what to really expect, despite the photos; this was my very first AirBnB experience.

I was glad to see everything looked like the photos and felt even better. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Tony has done everything possible to make his guests feel at home, from providing a thorough guide, to leaving toiletries in the bathroom, to providing snacks in the kitchenette.

Everything was extremely clean and despite the bungalow being nextdoor to the main home, I felt like I had my very own private space. The table outdoors and hammock was lovely and I wish I would've had more time to enjoy them, but I only had a short stay. There were also many books available for reading, which as a writer and book lover, I loved.

Beyond the accommodations, Tony was an amazing host. I needed a place in a crunch and he was very responsive to my messages. He was also very generous is allowing me to store my suitcase beyond the checkout time due to the fact that I was taking the red eye that evening.

This was an amazing AirBnB experience, and being that it was my first, it has set the bar VERY high. If I ever find myself back in LA, I will certainly be checking the availability on this lovely place.
