What a great FIND! I feel lucky to have found this Airbnb and will definitely return. I loved everything about it.
Location, location, location. From the cottage, you can walk 2 blocks to Larchmont village, with all of its shops and restaurants. It's a cool part of town that I didn't know about. You can also stroll through the beautiful neighborhood for exercise/fun/to get outside, and enjoy views of the Hollywood sign from basically every street. In a few minutes by car, you can be anywhere in the city. This is where I'd want to live in LA.
Hosts Holly and David went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, cared for, and safe - a particularly important issue during COVID, but also anytime as a woman traveling alone. Whenever I had a question, Holly texted me right back with an answer and gave me some great local suggestions of what to do and where to go. She also occasionally texted to check in with me and see if I needed anything like towels, etc. Because I arrived late from across the country, they ordered dinner for me ahead of time and made sure it was still warm for me, and the cottage was stocked with so many great snacks, coffee pods, and cool drinks in the fridge.
I had a wonderful experience at this Airbnb and highly recommend it. I only hope you don't want to stay there when I want to book it the next time...;)
