Regina's studio is stylish, spacious and very clean - especially right now during COVID-19. That was extremely important to us as we looked for a place for an extended stay. We checked into a truly impeccable and welcoming place that made us feel safe and comfortable. We stayed for two weeks and never had an issue.
Regina's hospitality is superb. She is attentive, responsive and kind. For any questions or any issues we had, she responded in a timely manner and made sure to address quickly and in a "no contact" manner, which was also important to us.
The studio is attached to her large 2-3 story house in the far back of her backyard. Access is easy and she walks you through it once you book your stay. The door has a self-entry handle to make it easy to check in, as well as come and go without worrying about keys. Regina will send you the code promptly at the time of check-in.
You have access to the studio, the backyard, various WiFi networks and it is pet friendly!
The place itself, it was spacious enough for my partner and I and our two little dogs. We had to put down a pet deposit but Regina promptly refunded it once we checked out and she was able to inspect the space to make sure there wasn't any damage. The bed and couch are comfortable. Halfway through our stay Regina brought us fresh linens which was a really wonderful touch given the length of our stay. The bathroom is spacious, private, clean and fully stocked with toiletries! The kitchen was a bit small but fully stocked with dishes, snacks, tupperware, and cleaning supplies! It was a bit tough to cook and wash dishes since the sink is a bit small and there isn't a ton of counter space, but we made it work - we used the dining table to compensate. We had seen the pictures of the space and knew what to expect, so this wasn't an issue for us. The fridge is a half fridge with a small freezer. Again, we made it work. The backyard is beautiful and spacious - our pups LOVED it - it gave them a space to play and do their business, just make sure to pick up after them. Regina emphasized this and of course we complied. This is something we do in our own home, so it was not an issue. There's a small TV with an Apple TV hooked up that you can use to Airplay content. It's easy to use if you know how to use AppleTV. If not, it might take some figuring out, but I'm sure Google or Regina would be more than happy to help you figure it out.
The only issue we had our entire stay was a few WiFi connectivity issues. The first time Regina made sure to address it quickly and get the WiFi restarted and in working order. The second and last time, it was out of her control. Spectrum had a connection outage in the area, so we just had to wait. But even in that instance, Regina called Spectrum and made sure to inform us what was going on, as well as scheduled a technician to check the connection a few days after.
Overall, we slept well and had access to all our basic needs. Regina is a stellar host and keeps the place very clean and fully stocked (which is a huge plus - I've been to AirBnbs that don't even provide sheets).
It was a great place to rest and work as we transitioned into our new life in LA. Regina is warm and caring, and her hospitality made us feel safe and welcomed.
Finally, the location is great! Access to stores and shops nearby and
Highly, highly recommend! Thanks Regina!
