I just had the honor of being Barbara and Fredericks first Airbnb guest and what a treat it was. These lovely people have created a really special, light filled space. This coupled with their dedication to be superb hosts meant I had the full five star experience.
Firstly the location has to be one of the best in LA. Mandeville Canyon is beautiful, it is not unusual to see horses from the nearby stables as you drive up to the house, a lovely visual treat. There is some excellent hiking in the Santa Monica Mountains a short walk from the house and yet you are so centrally located. It is within easy driving distance on the beach, Santa Monica and all the freeways, which cuts down on the LA drive time, and yet you feel completely out of the city surrounded by nature. The gardens here have fruit trees and guests are welcome to help themselves.
Everything inside the apartment is brand new and good quality. The big bed is super comfortable, there are screens on all the windows, there's both ac and ceiling fans, a huge smart TV, and all the kitchen gadgets you could hope for. If there is anything you find you don't have, and I can't see that happening, just mention it and it will appear.
Barbara and Frederick are very good at respecting your privacy, but if you want to take the time to chat they are worth getting to know.
I highly recommend staying here if you have to come to LA, avoid the madness and live the way the truly Blessed locals live.
