This was one of the best airbnb experiences I have had. I almost feel like not ranting about how great it was, so that its available for me for my next trip to LA! :-) The neighborhood is quiet and very short walking at Abbot Kinney Blvd where all the great shops are. Joann's cottages are behind her glorious home. So they are tucked back in there and felt safe and were very quiet and nicely dark at night. (although there is a porch light if dark at night is not your thing). Joann and her husband live in the house in front but are quiet and never intrusive in any way. Parking was easy, even with the street cleaning on Weds and Thursday. The cottage itself is just as pictured and even better. Super comfy bed and everything you would ever need to have a perfect stay. Plenty of fluffy white towels, blow dryer, iron, olive oil, tea. Everything she has in the cottage is beautiful and amazing quality. Even the cookware is lovely. She and her husband have thought through every detail to make a perfect little place. The cottage is also decorated beautifully Simple, modern, upscale and with beautiful pieces of art to enjoy. Also, everything worked perfectly: heater, wifi, tv, etc.
