HOST: Any experience, especially an AirBNB stay, hinges foremost upon the human element. In our case, that was host Mike. We are elated to say that Mike is a terrific AirBNB host and person! One could do no better in regard to every facet of dealing with Mike. He is super quick in responding, a pleasant and effective communicator, and an accommodating host in terms of answering questions, and addressing needs. LOCATION: We were there for a 6-week combined work trip and vacation. For the price, the apartment pleasantly met our needs. Location was #1 to us and Burbank felt like a safe (there are NOT bars on the windows of businesses in the area... it is a good idea to use satellite view or Earth to "tour" the area before renting) and accessible city. It is semi-urban; not quite LA or West Hollywood busy but not serene like many suburbs. Restaurants, retail, etc. are endless. It was perfect with proximity to the places we had to go for work - in Burbank or nearby North Hollywood or Toluca Lake. We were able to access everything with short drives, work-wise and personally, without hopping on a freeway. Be assured this is a huge plus in LA metro (world's worst traffic by most accounts). Even the trip to LA or West Hollywood can be made without any freeway driving (but that does not mean it is always quick). We also walked 4 miles every day in the neighborhood and found all the side streets filled with super friendly homeowners. It's also a short distance to the Chandler Bike Path which is a GREAT place to walk/run/bike. APARTMENT: It is the top floor in a 2-story apartment building with 6 units. Without rambling on about things most of us realize, I simply suggest that the reader bears in mind the inherent differences between an apartment (walls between units), condo and single-family home or casita. The 1-bedroom unit was very comfortable - extremely clean (which is super important) and generously sized. It is not luxury, but we were not willing to pay double for luxury. It had everything we needed and did we mention it was SPOTLESS upon arrival!! The A/C worked beautifully! There is off-street parking in a sheltered lot under the building. Street parking is free, but places are not always plentiful at night. North Hollywood Way is a very busy street and pulling out onto it could prove challenging for some but the stoplights are timed so there are lulls in traffic. The building is 1 mile directly South of Bob Hope airport. Bob Hope is not remotely as busy as LAX or other big city airports, but there will be plane and car noise. The windows do a great job of muffling that noise. SUMMARY: Pro's-- wonderful host, safe area, ideal logistics, comfortable unit, price; Cons- busy street, nearby airport. OVERALL: It is a definite recommend considering the price and fantastic host.
