Matthew's studio was a nice final place to stay on our trip across the US. LA is not very pedestrian-friendly, so staying in one of it's more walkable neighbourhoods was an advantage - Melrose a few blocks south, Santa Monica a few blocks north, able to walk to the WeHo Halloween Carnaval. The studio was nicely designed, bright, felt safe, and quiet. Kitchen was generally well-appointed, although didn't have a kettle. Matthew is straightforward and direct to deal with, but a bit of extra local knowledge would've been appreciated - we had no reason to expect the Carnaval, so had to park our car eight streets away when we returned from the beach that evening. But in short, a good Airbnb experience.
