The duplex is larger than the pictures do it justice. You arrive and walk down the driveway or park in the allotted space for the Airb&b, which is clearly marked with a sign on the garage. There is keyless entry which makes it easy to go in and out and you dont have to worry about losing a key. The space was very neat and stocked with cooking utensils, pots, and pans. There is a small fridge but enough to throw left overs in to save or keep light supplies in to make breakfast or lunch. There were 2 large rooms that serve as sleeping areas one with a queen bed, the other with a futon, fold out chair, and twin bed. I would put smaller kids on the twin bed and adults or teens on the futon. They were all decently comfortable and had enough blankets and pillows. both sleeping areas had ac units you can choose to use if it gets stuffy, but we were comfortable temperature wise. The kitchen space is large enough for a table and a really nice nook with pillows in the window. We hung out there most of our stay. we used the games under the cabinet to help amuse our 7 year old while we were cooking or making plans. She really enjoyed that. The bathroom can be a little tight with 2 people getting ready, but there is an additional ledge and mirror across from the sink that makes it possible for 2 people to get ready if need be. There were plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Thus is not an Airb&b where you have to bring your house with you. Hilary has thought of details to make it an easy stay for you. I should mention too There is coffee, oatmeal, and granola bars provided which was a nice touch to grab and go or make an easy light breakfast. At the end of the street there is access to a park that was nice for my child to play in and I didn't feel unsafe. It was close to the airport and a Lyft was only 20$ to and from. The location is really accessible to Venice and Santa Monica or Marina Del Rey. Expect a bit of a drive to go to Hollywood or any of the tourist attractions on that side of LA, but still for us nothing over 40mins. (Traffic gods may have been on our side)
I would definitely stay here again. The price was extremely reasonable especially during Oscar's weekend! we looked at a ton of crazy expensive hotels that didn't have near as much space for a family. 5 stars all the way!
