This was our first airbnb experience and the place really is a little piece of paradise in LA! Our whole family loved it. The set up is ideal. It's in a residential area which is super quiet. We had the guest house all to ourselves, with a secluded private pool in the back, and a courtyard in the front, separating the guest house from the main house. We took advantage of all of it -- swimming on most days (it was hot!) and even bbq-ing burgers one night. Jessa was a great hostess. She pre-stocked a basket and the fridge with starter food (since we had told her we were planning to eat in a fair bit), and got us information about local fitness centers, yoga studios, restaurants and nearby sights -- all things we asked about in advance. Shops and groceries are a very short drive away including a weekend BBQ truck that serves great ribs -- and had a steady line up -- at Jim's market, a short walk away. We went twice! The house and grounds are very nicely decorated and Jessa made sure we had everything we needed. For us, the location was perfect. We went for a summer program at California State University Northridge (25 mins NE) but spent time exploring the beach (30 mins SW), Hollywood (30 min SE) and museums (all over). All we can talk about is when can we go back... Thanks Jessa!
