This was my first airbnb stay and it's difficult to imagine how it could've been better. My parents came into town for a weekend and I wanted them to be close to my apartment, but I also wanted them to experience something beyond a hotel room (and there are many nice choices in the area).
Let me reiterate this: I live down the hill from this place; I could walk there. But I willingly and eagerly gave up sleeping in my own bed to go stay with my parents in this house -- that's the best way I can describe how good it is. The photos are accurate but they can't really touch the actual view, which is brilliant no matter what time of day -- waking up to it is amazing, the sunsets are amazing, and nighttime is amazing with all the other houses in the valley lit up. (I'm used to seeing the Hollywood sign, but my parents told me that was also amazing.) Equally nice to drink a cup of coffee or a glass of wine on the deck. Also the house itself has a very warm, welcoming feel; it's not the kind of sterile art gallery or spa-type houses you see a lot of around here. And the hills are quiet. The only warning I'd offer is regarding the drive up to the house: Expect very narrow roads and blind corners as you wind your way up the hill -- just have a smallish car and go slow.
And Craig is a pleasure to deal with. Communication was quick, friendly and completely stress-free -- even after I spilled a whole bottle of vinegar on the kitchen floor (sorry again).
All in all, a really memorable experience and my parents absolutely loved it.
Thanks Craig!
