As a very seasoned business traveler who has also worked in the hospitality industry for the last 20 years, I would definitely classify myself as a hotel person. This was my first experience with Air BNB and I have to say, I'm hooked!!! The purpose of this trip was for two ladies to have a girl's vacation for shopping and sight-seeing. We both felt like we had hit the jackpot when we walked into this marvelous place! The pictures in the listing are for REAL! It really IS that nice!!! Everything you could need in the beautiful kitchen, a great location for getting around anywhere in LA, and a lovely neighborhood with lots of great options for shopping and dining.
The couch has a pull-out bed that I slept in while my friend stayed in the bedroom - it was very easy to convert back and forth from bed to couch and nice linens are provided. The shower is fabulous with an option of rain shower heads or traditional, and jets in the tub!! There's even a washer and dryer if you have a lengthy stay.
While this trip was for pleasure, it is definitely a great option for business travelers too. The wi-fi was great and easy to use, every movie channel you can imagine on the tivo, and even a printer is provided.
Kevin provides fantastic detailed information prior to and during your stay, there's even a very nice guide book in the unit with detailed instructions on how to use everything, fun information about the location and surrounding areas, suggestions for restaurants and grocery stores - everything you need! He is very professional, friendly, and I felt like he sincerely wanted us to have a great time. I have a feeling he will be hard to live up to the next time I use Air BNB!
This place was perfect, and we would have paid at least 3 times the price at a comparable hotel. Honestly, I just can't say enough about our stay - I 900% recommend!!!
