Hands down, the best AirBnB I've stayed in. I don't even know where to start. And sometimes it's the little things such as great black out shades for sleeping (because it's very sunny in the morning!), ample towels for bath and pool, bathrobes for lounging, a stand outside for hanging wet towels/bathing suits, great decor and lighting, comfy bed with nice linens, full mini kitchen which I definitely used for breakfast because I loved just opening the patio doors in the morning! Since it was a work-cation, I also appreciated having a separate desk (though it was also fun working outside)!
Then there's the outside which was just paradise - a little oasis. Surrounded by fruit trees, and lush terraced plantings, it is so tranquil and private even though you're in the middle of LA. The pool is large and you basically have it to yourself; the bungalow's private patio with fire table and cafe lights is perfect for the chilly evenings.
Beachwood Canyon feels like a real neighborhood. You see people out walking/running, walking their dogs, and they say hi. I had no issue with parking right on the street by the house. You can walk (or drive and park) to the local Beachwood Cafe restaurant which has really good food and very cool vibe. There's also a decent grocery store where the the cafe is. You can also just walk the interesting meandering streets up to where the Hollywood Sign is. You also get an awesome view of downtown LA. Though it's somewhat long to get to the beaches, there are so many other great places you can drive to within 10-15 minutes r.g. Runyon Canyon which (spectacular at sunset!), West Hollywood restaurants and the comedy clubs, Los Feliz and Silver Lake...
David is also an excellent host who was always just a message away and really great about responding to any questions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
