My girlfriend and I stayed at Robert's place for 3 nights and found it to be a great way to experience LA. Robert was super easy to get in touch with, very friendly, and had lots of recommendations. We had contemplated renting a car, but didn't find it necessary since the apartment was close to a lot of public transit (plus, coming from New York, public transit didn't seem impossible by any means). The apartment itself is completely unique. The windows along the entire living room and kitchen created an amazing cross breeze as well as beautiful views. The bed was SOOO comfortable. The only downsides for us were minimal- we couldn't end up getting our wi-fi to work during our short stay. Robert was incredibly attentive though and very fast to respond. The only other thing was checking out- the keys are kept a few blocks away, which might not be a huge deal if you're driving or without lots of luggage, but we had to make a detour before we had to catch a train on our check-out day. All that being said, I would definitely stay here again. Robert was a great host.
