Where to even begin? My stay at the "Backstage' was nothing short of excellent. Christopher is an amazing host -- charming, super communicative, and ready to go above and beyond to make your stay the best it can be. The studio is clean, spacious, and stylishly decorated. I arrived in the middle of a heat wave and the air conditioning unit had already been activated to make the interior cool and comfortable. T
he location is amazing, with access to all public transport ( a boon considering how expensive Uber and Lyft prices have gotten) and super close to both NoHo Arts District and Burbank Town centre.
The neighborhood was quiet and safe as I remember from past trips (My sister lives only four blocks away), and there are a number lovely neighborhood cafe's to visit within a few minutes walk (I highly recommend the Ugly Mug and Coral Cafe for breakfast).
I've read some previous negative reviews on the site, and have to say I've no idea what those guests were talking about. The only issue I encountered during my entire stay was a temporary loss of Wi-Fi, which I contacted Christopher about and he had sorted in under 15 minutes.
All in all, one of my best AirBNB endeavors. Thanks, Christopher, I'll most definitely be back!
