When selecting an Airbnb, we are always trying to ascertain the quality of three things: the host, the house, and the location.
Host: Shaahin was so kind to our family once we arrived - he was a great host! He was right next door and responded quickly to texts.
House: The house had some great design features and was very comfortable. We loved the hot tub and the beds were comfy. While we were there, the TVs and WiFi didn’t work great but Shaahin was always happy to come make them work. We used the washer and dryer - they were great. There were plenty of towels, sheets, and dishes for our family of five.
Location: For a trip to LA, this house was in a nice central location. It was close to the airport, close to the beach, and not too far from Hollywood and Long Beach (our other destinations during this stay.) The house is located in a nice, normal family neighborhood. It isn’t easily walkable to the beach, and we weren’t comfortable trying to bike it, but Venice beach and Abbot Kinney are just a 5+ minute drive away. There are some local restaurants and coffee shops that are walkable. Grocery stores are within a short drive. Don’t miss the 8:00-9:00am half-price breakfast at Figtree at Venice Beach. We could have stayed another week just to enjoy all the restaurants and activities in the vicinity.
