Xia and Filippo were amazing hosts 11/10 rating if I could. they both made us feel welcome and were extremely friendly and hospitable from the moment we arrived and all the way until we left. We really enjoyed interacting with them throughout our stay. They are such a charming couple.
There was absolutely nothing we lacked during our stay, nicely decorated bedroom, shower and amenities and a fully stacked kitchen that we didn't get to use. Best of all, we got personal recommendations to their favorite places to go in LA.
Location wise: We felt very safe in the quiet neighborhood and it was walking distance to a lot of nice restaurants, sightseeing and shopping areas like La Brea mid Whilshire area, Original Farmers Market, The Grove and LACMA area.
We didn't rent a car because of our previous issues with parking in LA so we used Lyft everywhere. Other than the rides from and to LAX, the ride fares were extremely affordable from this location. Please make sure to not include words "ground floor" into the destination location if you decide to take Lyft to the house, the search somehow defaults to Miracle Mile apartments, and this place is not part of that complex, but even if you make that mistake, it's an easy 10 min walk or another short Uber/Lyft ride away. This is not the fault of the hosts, just a minor algorithm mismatch inconvenience in the app that annoys me.
If we both decide to go back to LA, we will definitely book Xia and Filippo again. Thank you Xia and Filippo!!!
