When I was unable to find reasonable accommodations for a business trip, my business partner recommended giving Airbnb a try, but I really didn't want to stay in or share anyone's home.

Scott's place was perfect for me. It's a detached unit behind his home in a quiet, safe, residential neighborhood close to many restaurants in Studio City as well as the NoHo Arts District. And it was only minutes away from my business partner, the freeways, and all the places I wanted to visit and see while there. If you like Starbucks, there's one a short walk away.

So I fared MUCH better in the end, and Scott was an excellent and most accommodating host.
