We have just finished a three month stay at this airbnb. Its a gem and is run by the owners which adds to its value. TravelArtist is exceptional in the location and comfort provided as well as the consistent and timely response of the owners. They are long time Angelenos and seem to truly love the city. That feeling shows in the care taken with the rental and with their consistent attentiveness to guests. We came to experiment with relocation in Los Angeles and were in the apartment for a full three months. As three month visitors we settled in and were quite comfortable. Visitors in LA for a week or two would be equally comfortable. The apartment is in a historical neighborhood filled with lovely older buildings and landscaping. No high towers , no racing cars at midnight--quiet and kind of serene.
The unit is bright and sunny, and provided us with much more space then we anticipated. We had full sized appliances, a step in shower, and a fulll sized desk with plenty of room for devices and Wifi of course. The best for us as long term renters was to step out onto the street for our morning walk to the bus or our afternoon walk , and be greeted by friendly neighbors. This is the place to be if you want to live as an Angeleno and walk to local park or food stores, to the Grove for a film, or to enjoy the unique restaurants. Try the bus, subway and light rail system instead of renting a car. We learned how to quickly get downtown with its historic areas, museums, theaters and music venues like Walt Disney Music Hall. Or for a day in Santa Monica you can use the same system, and ride the opposite direction. TravelArtist also offers parking if that is needed by you or your guests.
At the end of our third month and shortly before departing, the covid-19 crisis began. We could not return to the places we had enjoyed and come to treasure. Life changed quickly and dramatically. We left reluctantly and with good memories as well as a plan to return to TravelArtist next winter.
