I don’t know much about LA, but I needed a place to stay that was close enough to Dodger Stadium and with easy travel back to the airport for a late Friday night arrival and early Sunday departure. Location was perfect for me and easy to get to. This was a last minute work trip (booked everything week of, so stressful) & I had previously reserved a small studio at a similar price, with only street parking available, but was rejected the next day because my flight was scheduled to land at 10:10pm. I was rejected because it would have been past their 3-10pm check-in window, and there was a fear of me “possibly” being too loud. Which I don’t understand because it’s the same keypad/let yourself in situation and I was traveling alone. With that being said, I had a much later than expected arrival due to our plane waiting for an hour for a gate & then a 3 hour delay at the rental car agency….and my host didn’t make me feel like it was an issue at all! Definitely relieved so much stress and anxiety, & added peace of mind after such a hectic arrival. The genuine kindness and wishing me safe travels really put me at ease after a crazy few days of planning. The room was just as described, and super clean. The first impression of the home as I walked through the door made me feel like I was right at home. It smelled sooo great!! Loved that so much! Awesome, updated decor and appliances. I didn’t use the kitchen at all, but I would have felt comfortable doing so if I had needed to. They definitely care about their home and it shows! I had an amazing night’s rest, bed was so comfortable and clean, with a hotel-style comforter. Communication from Curtis, who was managing the property was perfect, nothing overbearing, all helpful and important information, and very thankful for him for reaching out. Again, made my overall experience that much better. He even reached out asking if I needed parking (saved me the trouble of asking) and went out of his way to send me a photo of exactly where to park. Which was one of the other main reasons I was drawn to/thankful I found this property after losing the previous reservation. I felt safe at all times (another concern for an unknown city) and the complimentary water was very ideal. 🥰 I greatly appreciated that! I usually go for hotels because it seems “easier” & you somewhat know what to expect. After several bad experiences with 4-star hotels, I figured I’d give Airbnb a try and this was FAR BETTER than expected! I can’t thank Shirley and Curtis enough for the hospitality. I’d absolutely book here again!!
