Darren’s is the most enchanting air bnb I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in!
The highlight, of course, was the outdoor area. It perfect spot to sit peacefully in at the beginning (or the end of) the day with a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine. A tranquil oasis amidst the bustling City of Angels. I felt like I was in Wonderland. You can draw the outdoor curtains for even more privacy, but it is very private already.
Darren is close by and very reachable if you need any help. He came over (per request) to help me light the fireplace, and we had a pleasant chat about Old Hollywood for a bit. He is also very accommodating, and let me check in early, as well as check out a little late for no extra charge.
As a young female traveling alone, let me also add that I felt completely safe here.
Parking was ever an issue and was FREE, which is a huge plus in LA. Fully-equipped kitchen, comfortable sleeping quarters upstairs with a/c, cute writing nook under the stairs.
My only warning would be to make sure you put on bugspray (which is provided), because I didn’t on my first night and got eaten by mosquitoes. But that is a minuscule gripe, because everything is sheer perfection.
Hope to stay here again! 10/10.
