Nikolai is a great host! Due to some issues with the Airbnb app, the app showed that my check-in was a day later than scheduled. Nikolai was very accommodating and ensured that the place was clean and ready for me the day I arrived even though he wasn’t expecting me until the next day. Nikolai was very responsive and available when I needed anything extra. The place is very cute and stylish with a great view of the hills of Echo Park/Silverlake. A few people mentioned the bugs in their reviews, and that’s to be expected when you’re in hills. It wasn’t a big deal for me and the studio was equipped with bug spray if I had any issues.
