Definitely one of the best options for a first visitor of LA! Seems as if every spot we wanted to see was 10-30 minutes away from the house via Uber. Not a far travel from Santa Monica or Hollywood, and Pasadena isn’t far either. If you are visiting to tour colleges, as I was for medical schools, you won’t be far from USC or UCLA. Now discussing the quality of the Airbnb, the house was beautifully furnished and very comfortable, with beds feeling firm and supportive. THE VIEW, the biggest reason to get this Airbnb was amazing, the stairs up to the place allow you to see the hollywood sign, and from the pool (which was amazing and hours of fun) you could see all the city had to offer, from palm trees to 21st century architectural masterpieces and scrapers. Jason was very pleasant and was great at communicating with us and our needs while here. Top notch host. This trip made me fall in love with Los Angeles. Any issues with my trip were with the city/people, but not the Airbnb, I could live in this Airbnb if Jason let me.
