(20 night stay) I’ve been staying at many airbnbs, someimes for weeks at a time, during some hectic cross-country moves. Lamine is by far the best communicator and most thorough host I’ve met. I hardly had any questions because he had already covered everything in his first few messages. The kitchen is clean and has everything you’d need, the bathroom is nice and the shower/toilet work well. (Do be aware that it is shared, but was rarely an issue for me) The fridge and microwave in the room work fine, and the room was plenty clean when I got there. A large pile of freshly folded towels of all sizes are on a shelf, the bed is made, and a few hangers sit in a mini closet area. The tv across from the bed was awesome. It works well, has good sound, and has cool backlit LEDs. Underneath is a little desk and stool, also TONS of outlets for charging. I hardly ever saw Lamine as he works a bunch but whenever I did see him and his family they were always polite but also left my anti-social self alone. It’s right off Vanowen st, one of the major streets in the valley. A plus for getting places, but a factor to the big big downside: the noise. Your room is at the very front of the house, with just a thin wall and window separating you from a busy intersection and a school. All hours of the night I could hear car fanatics revving engines right outside my window. Trash trucks, fruit carts with horns, kids chanting outside of the school. When I say the school is close, I mean you see the courtyard from your window. The school also has giant bright lights that shine up the building 24/7 and will shine into your room. When school opens up and lets out, your street will be bumper to bumper parents beeping at each other for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Good luck finding parking then. Parking any other time is super easy though. I stayed at Lamine’s place for 20 days; it’s a nice house in a safe area with anything you could want out of a home, but the noise was rough. I got it for $55 a night which was more than I’d hoped to pay. Last I checked, that price has risen. I wouldn’t have paid any more than what I did, but I am glad I had this higher quality of life my first month back to LA.
