Overall stay was good but for the price, I think we could have stayed at a hotel and had a better experience.
Pros:
-nice amenities including bikes to borrow, ping pong table, hammock, lounge chairs, blow dryer, fridge, etc.
-location was good- 5 minute drive from Abbott Kinney and about 10 mins from Venice beach
-Pool is heated and she had floaties
Cons:
-compared to other Airbnbs I’ve stayed at it felt like there were a lot of rules. I recognize that she has a lovely home and wants to keep it that way but for those of us that are respectful of people’s home, it fell a little bit overwhelming.
-Talia is friendly but she communicates a lot… I constantly had messages throughout the trip and made me feel like I was a kid at my aunt’s house or something.
-Randomly there were a handful of flies in the backyard at all times, so they were bothersome.
TLDR: Overall a nice place to stay, the pool is the best part but I don’t think it was worth $800+ to stay there for 2 nights.
