I've stayed at a lot of AirBnB, VBRO and Homestays and I have a few criteria when looking for a place. 1. It needs to be a designated rental, not the owner moves out for the weekend and all their stuff is still there...Pat's guest house is on the back of their property and it quiet and very homey and a true guest rental. 2. Needs to be centrally located....You can't get a better location than Laurel Canyon, easy access to Hollywood, the beaches and the studios!! 3. Need great hosts....I enjoyed meeting Pat and his wife and chatting about the area, careers and family. Really a warm and welcoming rental. I wish we could live there for the next year! 4. Value for the money...you can't beat it. Full kitchen, separate bedroom, parking for 2 cars. Perfect!!! I highly recommend Pat's place!
