Jon is extremely kind, very accommodating, & hospitable. His house is amazing and the finishes remind me of a modern resort. The personal bathroom is sleek. It's large, full of storage space, and has really good lighting options (which was awesome for someone like me who spends a lot of time in the mirror getting ready!)
The kitchen is stunning (..i'm a sucker for nice kitchens & bathrooms). The pictures don't do the house justice.
The bedroom is great too. Has a minimalist clean style, yet everything you need, even a nice desk and stool set. There's a big closet and even more storage space in a surprise spot. ;-)

This was my first air bnb.
My stay was for 2 weeks while I looked for more permanent living arrangements after my recent move from the east coast.
I made my reservation the week of Thanksgiving and Jon informed me he was hosting the holiday at his place & immediately extended an invite for me to join him & company.
I had other plans but got the chance to meet his lovely girlfriend.
(He was super quick to respond to my inquiry which I needed since I was left in limbo last minute without a place to stay)

The neighborhood is great.
The house is on is tree lined residential street, with nice homes & plenty of street parking.
Jon's place in Valley Village borders Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and North Hollywood. It's 3 minutes away from Ventura Blvd (in studio city) where literally EVERYTHING is - tons of shops from retail (urban outfitters, gap, etc.) to all the eateries (chipotle, CPK, a slew of restaurant/bars), 3 different pharmacies, 5 different grocery stores.. Literally any establishment you can think of is only 5 minutes away. I recommend checking out Groupon or Living Social for deals in his area.
I was too busy with my new job to enjoy all there is in the area, but was grateful that whatever I needed to get to was close by. Jon has even recommended a few restaurants that I will definitely visit.
He works and has lived in the area for years so he's extremely knowledgeable.

There were no downsides to my stay... My only concern was if I was too noisy early in the morning getting ready for work. Since he has nice wood flooring, I thought my noise would carry while everything is quiet during the 5am hour.

Whether your in town for leisure or business, this is definitely a prime place to stay. Its amazing for location but even more for the great host. :-)
