I have been using at Airbnb stays for many years and Karim is definitely the Host of all hosts. I had such a wonderful experience that was far beyond my expectations. First of all, Karim was gracious to host me earlier than expected at the last minute due to inclement weather. I was not feeling well soon after I arrived and Karim supplied me with meds, tea, and honey that really helped. He welcomed me and showed me around the beautiful Del Rey Suite, which the pictures do not do justice to. We walked around the peaceful historical neighborhood. The neighbors are friendly and Karim knows most of them personally. It is truly like Utopia!
The suite is well stocked to prepare meals.There were nuts, fruit, water and beverages on arrival. Karim is extremely thoughtful and meticulous. There is not one thing (that I would have or need at my own home) that he did not have. When available I was offered fresh fruit from the garden and homemade treats. The bed is very comfortable. The shower is complete zen. I had no issues at all with the space. Karim checked on me every so often to see if all was well. I was invited to visit Karim's backyard oasis and there is a private patio in the suite as well to enjoy therays or have a meal.
Karim is a top notch concierge, offering recommendations for food and points of interests. If he's home and you get a chance to have conversations with him it is worth while as he is a world traveler with many experiences to share. He seems to be a great people person.
The location is close to the airport and beaches. It is also short drive (reasonable Uber fees) to all of LA and the surrounding areas.
I can't think of another place I'd rather stay when I'm in the area again.
