This is a truly extraordinary house. The pictures just about do the place justice (although there are wonderful surprise period details all over the place), but the garden feels a lot bigger than it looks on here - it really is a private oasis, particularly on really hot days when it remains remarkably cool.
I booked this for my mother, sister and mother-in-law (my wife and I were staying a few doors away in another airbnb that was more suitable for very young children), so I'm repeating here what they told me - although we also spent a lot of time here over our six nights in LA.
The three rooms are all great, spacious and beautifully designed. The living areas are spectacular and the garden is just wonderful.
The location is great - West Hollywood is great for those who want to be able to walk to the shops, restaurants and bars, as well as drive. Especially on Melrose, a short walk to the south, there are endless options for all of those activities, but we found some great places on Santa Monica Boulevard as well. The Farmer's Market is very do-able on foot, as is LACMA.
Bob - the owner - and Jane - who manages the place for him - were both friendly and communicative. Very professional and helpful.
This is a very special airbnb - my family had a wonderful stay.
