We stayed at Darren's place for 2 months and we can't say enough positive things about our time here. The place itself is amazing - perfect for 2 people. Very big comfortable bed upstairs, along with closet space and plenty of drawers so you can unpack. The kitchen and bathroom are downstairs - the full kitchen has everything you need for a long stay and the bathroom includes a nice deep tub. We also had access to our own washer and dryer which was a huge plus and we were given a parking permit for side street parking. Everything was super clean and we felt right at home. The highlight is the outdoor space. You'll want to spend all day hanging out on the couch under the canopy to enjoy the LA weather, and at night you can start a fire sipping hot chocolate, or whatever you wish. The entire space is decorated so uniquely and we continued to find cute touches everywhere outside during our entire stay. And last but not least, Darren is the best. He saved us when our original Airbnb cancelled on us the day we were supposed to arrive. After finding Darren's place last minute, he replied immediately and was cool with us having our dog AND cat (which can be a challenge with other Airbnb listings). He's so generous and personable and made sure we always had what we needed. If you prefer more privacy, he will leave the outdoor space for guests to enjoy but we are social people and loved getting to know him and having evening chats by the fire. He and our senior dog also formed a special bond which was so cute to witness. We honestly didn't want to leave! Thanks for everything, Darren.
