TL;DR: STAY HERE.
If you're one or two people, you will not find a better location, a nicer place or a lovelier host.
Longer version:
We were looking for a peaceful getaway with private outdoor space. I like a specific aesthetic, and browsed through several places and their photos before choosing this one.
I say this as someone who is very picky about all things in life: this place was PERFECT, and turned out to be even lovelier than the photos!
Sun-drenched outdoors with lots of kitchen (fruit+veggie) plants, shaded private patios, a stylish modern one-bedroom unit, a luxurious steam shower and a Cali King bed. A warm and gracious host to boot.
The neighborhood is also perfect. LA traffic can be traumatizing (really, the 405 is the nadir of the human experience), so a walkable ecosystem is everything. Restaurants, bakeries, juiceries, Whole Foods, all walkable. Can also go for a walk/jog/run in the perfectly-manicured neighborhood and pause along the way to gaze at gorgeous homes with impeccable landscaping. The neighborhood is lush and love.
We are back in SF now and suffering major withdrawal. Also big shout-out to Lisa, who manages the place for Paul and is super responsive, thoughtful and helpful.
I only wish I had known of this Airbnb on all our earlier trips to LA!
