We really feel like we found a hidden gem with this airbnb listing. Other than the ever-present helicopters that are ubiquitous to LA, you really feel like you're not in LA at all. Nicole's house feels like a little cabin tucked away in the trees with a lovely view and a deck that is perfect for bbq-ing and having a drink and yet close to shops, restaurants, downtown, musuems, Griffith Park and lots of other destinations.
Nicole was a great host; replying promptly and was very nice. Her home had everything we needed and was so nice to come home to after our long days exploring the sights of LA.
