This was the second time I stayed at this Airbnb. I chose it because the hosts are really warm, easy-going, and helpful. One of them is always on the premises to assist or welcome a guest. They shine in their excellent communication and willingness to be helpful in any way they can.
This particular time I was there over the weekend, and there was a wonderfully odd collection of characters in the other 4 guests. We all hung out by the pool on Saturday night and had a party of sorts. One of the guests shared her dinner with me. Another guest shared a bottle of wine. Ana and Edgar joined us for parts of it, which was really nice. We conversed easily and effortlessly with a lot of laughter.
This place attracts free-thinking, open-minded individuals who enjoy a communal kitchen, can deal with shared bathrooms and running into other guests in the back patio. It is a fantastic value if you are like-minded. This place is probably not for you if you are a very private person who needs a private bathroom, doesn't like shared spaces, or cannot make her own coffee and wash her own dishes.
The location is excellent in that you are about 3 blocks from Beverly Hills, and one block from La Cienega. Each day I walked up the trail alongside the house, toward San Vicente and Wilshire Blvd, where there is a wonderful cafe called the Continental Kitchen. Just one block north and you will encounter a very quiet neighborhood.
On the other hand the property itself is on Olympic Avenue, which is very busy with fast and loud traffic. If you're sensitive to that, you would not want the front bedroom. As I said before, it is a fantastic economic value, with specific charms, for a bed and breakfast in Los Angeles!
