WOW. This is a long-ish review because there are so many positive things to say. Julia's place was immaculately clean, modern, and the location in a beautiful neighborhood made us feel like locals rather than tourists. Waking up to birds chirping and palm trees outside, with views of the hills in the distance was amazing. Honestly it was my favorite AirBnB and I have stayed at many good ones. I was stressed about driving in LA, but this location was very practical. Getting on and off the 101 was easy, and we ended up taking Laurel Canyon Road down to Hollywood and the museums at LACMA which was a breeze, and you go through beautiful areas. Mulholland Drive is maybe 2 minutes away, just up the hill. We hiked at Runyon canyon--which was great with a view of the Hollywood sign---but I would do Fryman Canyon next time, because it is closer to Julia's and has better parking. Julia was one of the nicest, most genuine people I have met, and super responsive. We were extremely grateful to have a washing machine and dryer, plus all the amenities of a full kitchen for breakfasts and a couple dinners. The entire area felt extremely safe--and was beautiful--, and it was also convenient with a Trader Joe's and CVS nearby. My daughter, husband, and I all want to return ---there is so much to see and do in LA and staying at Julia's made us feel at "home". Thanks so much to Julia for a terrific stay!
