Have been browsing through airbnb for some time now, had been a bit hesitant since it was something entirely different than going the hotel route. There are many nice-looking places that got me curious... So, I decided to give one a try for our short trip to Los Angeles. It took my wife some convincing since she was not as adventurous... It was also a good thing we used to live in Los Angeles, and knew our way around and where exactly we wanted to be close to. This modern condo would be considered, located in "the Valley" which is close enough to the famed Hollywood area and a few other attractions, but would be quite a drive from the Disneyland and Adventure parks towards the South... but this is where we knew we wanted to be. It was right smack center onto Warner Center, which is where my wife and I find ourselves doing our shopping and all the familiar restaurants we would frequent... It was simply perfectly located for us.

The condo is a well-secured property with very conveniently located garages leading up to elevators and passageways onto the units itself. Walking is not as common in LA, but I assure you, everything is within a few steps. The Westfield Topanga Mall is our attraction in this side of town, and I assure you there are tons to do and see that will surely take up most of your day.

Geerat was just the perfect host, providing everything we needed, even directions and a mini handbook with pictures on how everything works. He definitely put a lot of time into doing this, and made sure of every detail. Prior to arriving, I had inquired with Geerat about his wifi connections and TV cable. He regret to inform me that he hadn't been watching too much TV that he didn't see the need to have cable. When we arrived, he surprised me and already had HD cable programming. WOW!!! But how can you not have cable with that huge and awesome "Smart TV" in your living room... (It's like a crime not to use it to its full potential) The Host and his wonderful condo, definitely made my first, and definitely not my last, experience with airbnb a great one... I will be making this a regular arrangement.
