We were in a LA for a little bit of work and play. We looked into a few hotels in the area but we always love to support folks on Airbnb. House of Alchemy was our first and last search. The photos and house description seemed to fit the bill!
The location was even better than we imagined. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s the truth. Once you step through the front gate you immediately feel transported somewhere far from the busy streets of LA. The backyard was filled with flowers, herbs and even an orange tree. Oranges were kept in our guest pantry and were delicious! Aside from the oranges, there was fresh infused water everyday (Cinnamon apple for the win!). In our room, we had plenty of space to sprawl out and hang our clothes. To our surprise they even had snacks and drawstring backpacks as a GIFT! I can’t tell you how much that backpack came in handy for walking the streets .  The energy in the home was wonderful. Everything just felt easy, and comfortable. The air smelt of sage and incense. The hostesses’ Shay and Ginger were kind and always willing to have a conversation. Our deep talks were insightful and so refreshing!! They let us borrow beach chairs, coolers and even books to read. You will not find service and kindness like this at any hotel or motel.
Aside from the amazing hostesses’ we were greeted by two lovely pups Piper & Juno. An extension of the sweet women who run the joint. I couldn’t be happier with our stay in LA. We’ve found a forever Airbnb that we know is a tranquil oasis, and we’ll be stopping here for trips to come. Thank you Shay & Ginger, we appreciate you!
