Magical is the word! Location was great; from the moment I arrived at the property I didn’t want to leave. I was welcomed by the host, who was very accommodating and gave me a detailed tour of the grounds as well as the cottage. The space was perfect, lots of natural lighting, the bed was very comfortable and it even had a great kitchen space with coffee machine. This was my first time using Airbnb and I’ll have to say I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional place to stay. The native species gardens were so inviting, I spent time relaxing under the gazebo. The Elysian Heights neighborhood has a special feel to it. I discovered that I could walk to Elysian Park for a hike, an amazing retreat right near downtown LA.
