Nino and his wife were gracious hosts. When I arrived they provided me a tour to their beautiful home. It is well layout and has good zen flow. The room I rented was more than sufficient. They had towels, bottles of water and snacks waiting in my room for me and my boyfriend, and plenty of closet and drawer space for my belongings. I felt like I was in 5* hotel room.

The bathroom is shared but I don't mind. It's super spacious...with cute blue and yellow tiles. Separate bath and shower. Showers were pretty awesome.

The kitchen is gorgeous. It's renovated well. I didn't cook much when I was in town, but when I did, they had all the supplies.

Plenty of parking in the area. Just watch out for the days they sweep the streets.

I love Studio City/Sherman Oaks area. I'm not into the busy hollywood tourist areas and Nino's place is central to the places I was going. Lots of good eats around the area and very close to the 101 and 405.

And the best thing about this place is Nino and Ivana. They were so friendly and welcoming. They always asked if I needed anything. Some of my nights ended with having tea and conversing with them. It was great. Oh and I can't forget Billy, the teacup chihuahua. I'm a dog lover so to watch him prance around the house is pretty sweet.

This was my first airbnb experience and it was better than expected. I highly recommend renting out their room, but not on the days that I need them because I'm coming back! =P ....just don't know when...
