What can I even write to do justice to Carolyn’s truly incredible stay? She has gone absolutely above and beyond to make this Airbnb the one you’ll want to come back to again and again any time the opportunity arises. Every detail was attended to in order to make this such a comfortable, convenient and tranquil stay. I stayed here with my boyfriend for two nights (I’m his girlfriend reviewing from his account, lol) and it was perfect for a couple. There are honestly more lovely things to say than I could even fit in this review, but to name a few: The unit was immaculately clean which always feels great. The bed was incredibly comfy which allowed me to sleep like a baby, it was like sleeping on a cloud, not to mention the pillows were perfect and not too soft nor firm, while the soft comforter was not too hot and not too cold! The unit was a very comfortable temperature even before we touched the air conditioning unit. The unit is more effective than it looks. Even though it was 90°+ throughout our stay, we were turning the air off because we were cold! The full kitchen is stocked with everything you could need and more which was great for us as we like to cook our own meals whenever possible. She had glass Pyrex cookware, wooden cooking utensils, nice sharp cuisinart knives and of course all the silverware and dishes you could need. There are stainless steel appliances and a full size fridge and freezer. One of the only snags we hit during our trip was trying to preheat the oven, it was a little confusing but once we got it heated up we were good to go! There are also conveniently placed and well-sized trash cans throughout the studio which is a plus especially if you want to cook. There is a huge and really nice TV with Netflix set up for you; One thoughtful detail we really appreciated was the ready-to-use HDMI cable already hooked up to the tv. We watch everything on our laptop so this was a really nice surprise for us. I loved the way that Carolyn chose to decorate the space, loved the blue color theme, it was beautifully designed and accented. I especially loved the impressionist seascape painting next to the table, I couldn’t stop admiring it. There is a very large and high quality wood desk equipped with a nice extension cord that has tons of outlets and USB ports, this would be so convenient for any sort of remote work. The backyard which we could admire out the large window in the studio was beautiful and just absolutely lush, there were vegetables, peppers, berries, a beautiful fruitful lime tree - someone in this family definitely has quite the green thumb! It felt like a whole little world back there. The studio was also very quiet, it is attached to the house but there was almost no noise to indicate that fact and there was no disruptive noise from the street either. Additional wonderful details, like the high end furniture (my bf loved the comfy leather chair and during our stay he called it his “thinking chair”), the beautiful bright recessed lighting, the cozy lamps (with USB ports for charging!), the stunning patio with couches and a sun umbrella, blackout curtains for sleeping in, perfect water pressure in the shower and more made this stay feel truly luxurious. This stay is also in a stellar location, on one of the nicest residential streets in all of Burbank and walking in the area was exceedingly enjoyable because of all the beautiful homes on the street! You can certainly rest assured that the area is completely safe, we took a walk and didn’t get back until after dark and it was perfectly peaceful strolling down the street even at night.
Carolyn is the best host and completely went beyond any expectations we could’ve had. She was extremely friendly and accommodating with quick responses, even when I booked her stay at 1am the night before check-in (she even had it ready several hours early for us)! We’ve stayed with superhosts before but Carolyn was the best of the best, she is more of a super-superhost.
This is probably the longest review I have ever written for anything but I can’t help it, there are just too many great things that I couldn’t bear not mentioning! We would honestly move into this studio today if we could; It’s just that nice! Thanks again Carolyn for such an amazing stay, we will definitely be back!
