I traveled with my 9 year old son and my wife to Los Angeles and I frankly wasn't sure what to expect before we got there as it was first time to use Airbnb for accommodation in LA instead of Hotels.com. We're pretty urban, always have lived in downtown Toronto and wanted a place close enough to Abbot Kinney for my wife and Venice beach for my son. I have to say my stay couldn't have been more perfect. Kristina and Robert are such a wonderful hosts. I mean they are really rare to find good people. I simply didn't expect such hospitality. My 9 year old son Theo is taking so much beautiful memories from their house.
The walking distance to Abbot Kinney is only 10 minutes and 20-25 min to Venice Beach and 5 minutes to Ralphs and 15 minutes to Whole Foods Market. I mean it was really convenient.
The house was old but extremely well maintained and very spacious. Nothing I can think of as far as inconveniences go.
We have rented a car during our stay so Parking was something I had on my mind. We parked on Palms Blvd which was only one block away from the house. I never encountered any difficulty finding a spot.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kristina's house and are definitely going back to her place if my family visits LA again. I hope they will still have the place available in Airbnb.
