I had the pleasure of staying with the Baumer Brothers in Highland park for a few nights while I waited to move into my new apartment near DTLA. My experience with the Baumer's and their home was one of the best I've ever had while using AirBnb, and I would be hard pressed to ask for more.

The brothers are both incredibly warm, inviting, friendly and full of information on their neighborhood and life in LA. They live in a truly amazing home in Highland park, beautiful and expertly decorated -- most importantly CLEAN - SPOTLESS - IMMACULATE! I almost felt like I was staying in a posh bed and breakfast.

Speaking of breakfast, if you're not one to cook in their gorgeous kitchen (or you're like me and need a sip of coffee first thing in the morning) there is a cute local coffee shop steps away from the front door of the home, Antigua Bread. YUM!

A few steps in the other direction lead me straight to the train, which heads underground and into DTLA and Hollywood. I didn't take the train past Hollywood, but it's incredible proximity to the Baumer Brother's home is a plus for ANY traveler who either doesn't have a car, or wants to save money on high parking fee's in both DTLA and Hollywood. The neighborhood was VERY quiet, both day and night, even with the train nearby.

There was another tenant in the home during my stay as well as both Sam and Zac Baumer, the brothers. I never felt uncomfortable as the only female in the home, and we even went out as a group for dinner one evening - always fun making new friends!

It might sound silly, but as I wasn't in LA on vacation, I found the availability to movies and cable television around the house to be AWESOME! The Brothers have definitely embraced technology throughout their home and the deep, comfortable, sofas surrounding the big screen television in the living room were one of my favorite parts of the stay.

HIGHLY recommend the Baumer Brothers to any travelers coming to the LA area and are keeping their information for friends who visit SoCal as well! I almost didn't want to leave.
