My wife and I are from Brooklyn, NY and we wanted a place to stay that was pretty much the complete opposite of that. That's exactly what we got when staying at George and Marie's airbnb pool house. When we arrived George was there to greet us and show us around and give us the low down on everything we needed to know. They were very organized with guides for tourists and things to know about the stay at the pool house. The backyard was just amazing with it's view of the mountains above and the noise level was at a zero at night. The drive to downtown LA isn't too bad either. This made for a really pleasant stay. We would definitely stay there again.
