We are second-timers both with Airbnb and with this hosting. What made it new was bringing my dad rather than the family. But our family did join us. To rest, eat, talk. The beds were terrific; bathroom with walk-in shower; the decorations just so personal and home-like. Deborah is so kind leaving a few items for snacking, breakfast; a fully stocked kitchen with seasonings and cooking and dining stuff. On this trip, we ate at restaurants mostly. Our last night, together, we shopped at Erehwhon and I prepared a home cooked meal for all: first for our kids in a month or two. I will not forget the moment having a personal and private conversation; eavesdropping on the conversations between grandparent and grandchildren while preparing our meal in the other room; You cannot get this in a restaurant or a hotel.
While we did not want to disturb our host Deborah os most accommodating.
The location between 101 and PCH is also of the greatest value when considering traffic conditions as we drove across LA SEVEN TIMES.
We have not found another opportunity through Airbnb which works for us.
