Russell's airbnb is amazing. Here are a few things that stood out.
1. It's really at the ideal location -- 2 blocks away from abbot kinney. Easy to take a walk and grab coffee, juice, food whatever you name it! But the street is tucked away from the busy street, so nights are quiet. Parking is insanely easy too; we never once had a problem finding a spot during our 10 day stay.
2. Russell is an amazing, considerate host -- he overcommunicates and he is so detail-oriented. Before arriving, I knew everything I had to know starting from the check-in process to where the garbage bins are if we need to empty the trash can (again, we stayed for 10 days). Because he lives nearby when I had a question or needed something he was quick to respond and takes care of the matter right away.
3. The airbnb is small but has literally everything you need -- since we stayed in December, the nights got cold. Both the living room and the bedroom have AC/heating unit that we could control the temperature. The place is also extremely clean and well maintained! The back patio was a plus to have meals outside while enjoying the southern California sun.
I would highly recommend Russell's place and would stay again!
