Folks , Lucy's place is ALL YOU NEED FOR YOUR TRAVELS WITHIN LA !
( Im originally from Toronto Canada ) i travelled to LAS VEGAS June 2022 and decided to visit friends in LA --- and then i found Lucy's place on Airbnb ! At the time i rented ; althoug shes fairly new to airbnb and she had only 1 review and i still took the chance and gave it a try as one of the prime reasons I chose Lucy's place was the parking availability . Lets just say i was very happy that i went for her place !
To share my experience ---- It's about at 25min drive to DTLA from Lucy's place . Theres a 7 eleven down the street , home depot, subway , popeyes , Pho vietnamese restaurants , in and out burger ) , also gas stations nearby . Lucy also gave me some directions on some great Japanese restaurants to check out which came very handy !
The room was very clean , the bathroom is literally next to it and is also very well kept . Shower pressure / temperature was fine without any issues whatsoever . I slept soundly as they have air conditioning ! Wifi is readily available as well and is quite strong signal . Lucy as a host was phenomenal and communication was top notch . --- I had a really nice chat with her late one night and she even gave me some delicious watermelon .
My FAVORITE moment about Lucy's place was during my 2nd day : After a night out with friends and I was returning to her place ; i drove into the street and went to the wrong house instead of hers ( her house is PARALLEL to another house / street as it looked identical ( minus the green trims around her house ) ---- Lucy told me a previous traveller also made that same mistake as i did haha ! I only realized I was at the wrong house as it does not have keypad lock & Lucy's place has a green trims around her place ; so take note if this happens to you --- YOURE AT THE WRONG HOUSE / STREET !!
More importantly - the neighbourhood itself feels safe . I went for a stroll numerous times with no issues whatseover . Neighbours and joggers were friendly and would say hello when you walk past them . I was amazed to see Orange trees ( ive never seen one in real life and i guess you can say youre DEFINITELY in California when you run into them ! ) .
Overall Lucy's place was just the PERFECT travel spot to airbnb-out during my road trip and needless to say ; ...... ill definitely be back !
Thank you Lucy ! ^_^ you are an amazing host ! Take care for now and until next time
Best,
Luis
