This was my third Airbnb experience, and staying in Graciela's hilltop studio proved that the third time's truly a charm! I really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while working in LA. Graciela's hilltop studio embodies everything I love about what Airbnb offers: the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers and feel like you're on vacation in a home away from home. Aside from the apartment being tranquil, impeccably clean and offering magnificent views of Los Angeles, Graciela was the most gracious host. I stayed in the studio for three weeks during the holidays, and during that time, Graciela made me feel wonderfully at home. She knew I was working long hours and surprised me with mandarins, croissants, clean sheets and even invited me to dinner with her friends. It was one of the highlights of my trip. The studio is very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and it comes equipped with anything you might need if you like to cook. The patio is a wonderful place to relax, too! The apartment is located close to Downtown LA & Pasadena, which I absolutely loved. LuckyBoy, a famous spot for breakfast burritos, is close by and a must try. Los Angeles can be a very busy city, so driving up to Graciela's hilltop cottage at night and looking over spectacular views of the city really brought me the peace I was looking for after a hectic day on set. If you love Airbnb for the same reasons I do, there's no other place to stay in LA. You'll really feel like you're in LA and another country all at once. If and when I'm in LA again, there's really no other place I'd rather stay.
