This is hands down the most wonderful Air BnB I have stayed at in LA, and I make at least 2 trips down a year so I have stayed in a LOT.
Absolutely everything is ideal about this lovely little listing:
1. Location: the neighborhood is quiet and absolutely gorgeous, the walking distance proximity to Museum Row is incredible, street parking is plentiful, and you are basically smack dab in the middle of LA making it about 20 minutes to everywhere else, in any direction.
2. Space: the studio is tucked away in a quiet corner of the most beautiful backyard. You have your own lush, private patio right outside and all the privacy you could ever want. But for me, who was in dire need of some R&R, the quiet was the best quality. You don't hear ANY traffic noise and not really much else, beside the chirping of birds.
3. Amenities: the studio itself is comfortable and spacious. I slept so well in the comfortable bed, enjoyed watching tv on the comfortable couch, and love the bigger than expected bathroom. The kitchen is small but functional with a microwave, toaster oven and mini fridge. You won't be doing any real cooking in it, but it was ideal for basic breakfast and lunch, and with Little Ethiopia walking distance away there really isn't much reason to cook.
4. Hosts: I didn't get a chance to meet Stephanie, but Mark was the kindest, warmest and most gracious host. His welcome orientation upon my arrival was comprehensive and he was always available via text if I had any issues or needed anything during my stay.
I kept telling my friends that I have never really wanted to go back to any of the Air BnBs that I have stayed at in LA in the past, but I cannot wait to book my next stay with Mark & Stephanie! :)
