Hands down one of the best Air BnB experiences I’ve ever had! Kevin and Adriana were wonderful and generous hosts for me and my dog Gus on a six week stay in Los Angeles this spring. The most important thing for me was having a space that was safe and secure for me (but moreso my dog), while being conveniently located and if the style and upkeep was good, that would be a huge plus. This was all of that and more!
The space was a very cleverly modified two car garage on the property of a larger house in the Pico Robertson neighborhood, convenietly just north of the 10. Everything felt very clean, modern and private. The space is like its own little studio apartment, complete with a bed, desk, kitchenette (w/everything you need for a long term stay), a closet and a very nice granite tiled shower. It’s located behind a large gate (which you have access to) and tucked securely in Kevin and Adriana’s backyard. The backyard itself is a huge plus, with a great covered area, a fire pit, a small but lush grass space, and gorgeous hibiscus plants, lemon trees and mandarin trees. Very comfortable!
The neighborhood itself is great and very convenient to most of LA’s biggest attractions. Most everything is about a 30-45 minute drive away at max depending on traffic (which is prertty solid considering the city). On a good day Venice beach is 20 minutes west on the 10 and DTLA is 20 minutes the other direction. I also found walking my dog around the neighborhood super safe, the people very friendly and the vibe to be very comfortable. There are lots of great restaurants and amenities in the area, you can get almost anything you need within a ten minute drive.
I would absolutely recommend Kevin and Adriana’s space to anyone staying in Los Angeles, particularly if you’re travelling with a dog and/or staying for more than a few days!
