This studio is, in a word, wonderful. I emphatically recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely urban oasis to stay in. I stayed here for a full month; it was a landing spot for me moving from the East Coast to LA, in the midst of the COVID era. During this month, I was effectively at the studio for most hours of the day, working remotely and following the COVID stay-at-home advisory. The wifi connection was flawless and made my 40-hour remote workweeks go without a hitch.
The place instantly felt like home to me. The space is arranged very well, with thoughtful interior design decisions including a cool and calming color scheme and some stylish antiques in the mix. Materially it has everything you could need; the kitchen is amply-stocked appliance-wise and dinnerware-wise, and the bathroom includes great amenities too. The space is incredibly comfortable, with nice seating, a cozy bed, and a multitude of blankets. Every inch is remarkably clean, and notably the bathroom is in mint condition. There's a nice tucked-away storage area near the front door which was useful since I brought a number of items with me for my cross-country move. Also, there's a tranquil outdoor area for you to enjoy, with a well-kept garden and with charming, warm globe lights that switch on automatically every evening.
What is perhaps most striking about this place, for an Airbnb experience, is the record player and vinyl collection. There are 200 records here on the shelf that you can play, with a dazzling variety of genres and cultures represented. As a music junkie, I was utterly delighted. I spent the month discovering so much incredible music on vinyl here in this home, which also helped me forget about the pandemic gripping the outside world. In this same vein, there are several books here about the city of LA, and about other topics as well, for you to curl up with and dive into.
It's worth noting too how perfectly central the location is (in Mid-City), how walkable the neighborhood is, and how lovely the architecture of the homes here is. I really enjoyed walks/runs here consistently at sunset-time. Also, you can walk a quick couple of minutes down the street to Ralph's for your grocery needs, no problem.
Leeah and Mic are excellent hosts. Their warmth, friendliness, and hospitality is unmatched, going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed, taken care of, and comfortable. Very responsive by phone if you need to connect about anything at all during your stay!
