I stayed for ten days. The apartment was perfect for my needs. It had plenty of space for luggage and hanging clothes. It had 2 full length mirrors which you don’t always find in air bnbs. There was lots of natural light and it was super quiet and peaceful. The shared outdoor area was beautiful i loved the lemon trees, the humming birds and the view over LA. I was working from the apartment so spent a lot of time out there and I was always the only person around so it felt very private.
We came without a car and used Uber to get around. It was a very good location the neighbourhood was so green and picturesque. It was a pleasant walk to local restaurants and coffee shops (probably not advisable if you have mobility issues as it’s up a very steep hill but most people drive everywhere in LA anyway so it wouldn’t be an issue for most) my favourite food spots were Pine and Crane, Night market song and Millys cafe that were close-by.
I didn’t meet Houston but we were in contact via messenger. She left a full booklet with recommendations and information. She was a great host. Our coffee machine broke and she had it replaced by the next morning! She also let us check out an hour late because there weren’t guests arriving. It was definitely my most seamless air bnb experience.
I would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting and I will try and book again when I next return.
Thank you for an amazing stay!
