Absolutely exceeded expectations. This was my first time with AirBnB and I was a little nervous. But after being greeted by Sonya with a big hug, those nerves melted away. Pictures really do not do this space justice. It is bigger than it seems, plenty of space for our group of 3....4 would feel very comfortable here as well. Very secure back and front entrances to the apartment, with security lights that helped some of our late night arrivals back to the place feel safe. Off street parking was a huge bonus as well, since parking in LA can be difficult at best.
Gorgeous kitchen(though we barely had time to use anything). She had the fridge stocked with cold drinks, a Keurig with Kcups available, as well as tea. Plenty of kitchen ware to cook anything you like, with several markets within an easy walking distance. Really amazing shower with a giant jetted tub, great for a relaxing soak. And in case you forget your shampoo and such, don't worry, Sonya has the bathroom well stocked for you. Laundry detergent for the washing machine as well. Being a block off of La Brea, I expected the neighborhood to be hectic and loud, but it was very quiet with little traffic on the street. But just a few minutes walk, and you were on the bustling street with plenty of awesome restaurants and shops to visit. My only complaint about this place was I didn't have time to enjoy it more. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
