My two friends and I had a terrific one night stay at Katie's place.
The building is a newly constructed modern design three level duplex built on a hill which is quite a spectacle to admire. Katie greeted us at curbside as we arrived and was every bit as cheerful as her bio and photos depict. She was responsive to our text inquiries and accommodated us on a special request we had that really helped our whirlwind travel situation. Parking was plentiful and close by throughout our short Friday night stay.
The guest space on the lowest level has a dedicated entrance and an interior stairwell that leads to the rest of the home where Katie and her husband and dogs live but the door at the top of the stairs is locked. The main part of the home has its own dedicated entrance so your privacy is assured.
It appears the space is a master bedroom suite that has been furnished as a lovely studio apartment of sorts overlooking one of Hollywood's main thoroughfares. The queen size bed is in an area on the street side but above the street. The mini fridge, coffee maker, microwave oven, and toaster oven are in that room which has accordian style doors that can be closed for privacy.
The twin bed is at the rear in what appears to be a spacious walk-in closet with a pocket door for privacy. There is an HVAC vent and I slept pretty well in the darkness of that area with the door closed. There is no window in that space which didn't bother me, but it's probably best suited for a child who would enjoy the novelty of it.
The space in between is really comfortable with a small table and four chairs totally suitable for a quick bite, although you'll probably prefer to enjoy the plethora of great restaurants close by. A television with Apple TV is available and there's a sofa to swallow you and a comfy chair in the opposite corner.
The bathroom is awesome and is really the jewel if this Airbnb. The deluxe shower is great for when you are in a hurry but hopefully you can afford some time to relax in the soaker spa tub during your stay.
Aside from some footsteps on the floors overhead and Katie's dogs announcing our late return in the wee hours of the morning despite our tiptoeing in (Sorry Katie!) our hosts were really quiet and respected our privacy. It was reassuring to know they were on site if we needed anything.
The friends I had with me used the queen bed and loved Katie's place and are now inspired to book with Airbnb in the future. I would absolutely book this place next time I need somewhere to stay in the area.
