This being our first stay with AirBnB, we were definitely a bit apprehensive about the whole experience but Ray and Adreana were spectacular hosts that went above and beyond our expectations. We had been on the road for the past 3-days and were ecstatic to find out that they were more than accommodating of our late check-in time. Since we were relocating to the LA-area we came stocked with towels and toiletries in tow but were happily surprised to find that they had extra towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a drawer filled with local restaurant menus, and even snacks available and ready for us. Despite only being one room, their guest house felt spacious and maximized the use of the space in the best way possible. If you're concerned about the lack of built-in heating during the winter, don't be. Ray and Adreana set up 2 heat lamps in the room that effectively make the space warm and cozy. Ray was easily accessible by phone or via AirBnB, knowledgeable of the LA-area, and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. If you take a walk around the block, on the other side from their house, you can actually see a picturesque view of the skyscrapers and skyline of downtown LA. We had a packed scheduled for all but a couple days of our stay with Ray and Adreana but, at the end of the day, we were always glad to be able to collapse in the nice clean and comfy bed they provided. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We would definitely stay with Ray and Adreana again if we ever needed temporary lodging in the area in the future. Not only were they friendly and welcoming hosts, but their Urban Retreat, without a doubt, is one of the best treasures of Los Angeles' AirBnBs. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
