This AirBnB is a real treat. Brenna, Mark, Cade, and Ari are really the sweetest folks who are so conscientious about their guests' comfort. From when we checked in (we texted and were able to drop off our bags early, so as not to cart them around LA) until our last day, my daughter and I felt well-cared for. All of our hosts were super-responsive and just so warm and friendly.
Our room was exceptionally well appointed, with a very comfy queen size bed and a comfortable twin convertible. The mini-fridge (more like a midi-fridge), microwave, and toaster oven were just perfect for our two-week stay. Blankets were comfortable and cozy and there was more than plenty of drawer and closet space for all our things. Decor was clean, sweet, and "homey". There's a ceiling fan for air circulation, but also the AC works quite well (you just need to let anyone know if you need the temperature warmer or cooler). We appreciated the utensils and dishware for our breakfasts and the bathroom had all the amenities we needed, including hairdryer. We easily did a load of laundry and Cade and Ari were more than helpful with our needs.
Location-wise, this is a great spot. We had a car because we were taking classes nearby, but Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and dining options are nearby. The 101 is not very far and downtown was probably only 25-30 minutes away, depending on traffic. Parking was easy (just be mindful of the street cleaning and make sure to park your car on the appropriate side of the street - but Mark and Brenna have notes to remind you!) and convenient. I think the neighborhood is charming and the private entrance for our AirBnB made it so we didn't feel like we were bothering the homeowners, nor the other houseguests (there's a larger AirBnB unit in the front).
My daughter enjoyed the backyard and you could easily imagine dining "al fresco" during the warmer days. Gypsy, the cat, was a little shy, but she was a welcome visitor. (*For those with kitty allergies, Gypsy is not allowed in the AirBnB unit and even though I'm a sensitive allergy sufferer, I had no problems with sweet Gypsy on site).
All in all a lovely stay with very lovely people. We hope to be back next summer when my daughter has another two-week stint with her program!
