We arrived Sunday, January 7th and were greeted by our hostess Charlotte. She was very kind to us and we were very appreciative as we were in an unfamiliar area. In addition, she had complimentary food and beverages. We were tired and hungry so that was a very pleasant surprise. We spent 2 weeks in the Airbnb which was really a home away from home!
The kitchen area was cute, efficient, functional and we were able to cook several nutritious meals. The Keurig was great and Charlotte had a variety of coffees and teas that lasted our entire stay. The kitchen had all the necessary items needed for the long stay we had such as the refrigerator, microwave, toaster, pots/pans, cooking utensil, eating utensils, dishes, etc.
The living room had a comfortable coach/bed, heating/cooling unit, tv that had a dvd player and cable access, books and dvds for entertainment and wifi access. The bedroom had a comfortable bed, dresser, closet with plenty of room to hang clothing. The bathroom had a beautiful large shower and totally met our needs. Charlotte provided personal care items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc…which was above my expectation! Charlotte provided clean towels after our 1st week at the Airbnb. There were also cleaning supplies available to keep the “home” clean during our stay. There is a nice patio area that I was able to take advantage of during my stay on the “perfect weather” days.
I would like to mention that we decided not to rent a vehicle during our stay and the Airbnb is located very close to several “Hollywood locations” that can be easily walked to. I had purchased the Go City Card (Hollywood Explorer Pass) and was able to tour the Chinese Theater, Guinness World Record Museum of Hollywood (not too impressed), Madame Tussauds Hollywood /Wax Museum (I enjoyed, especially the classic characters such as Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh from “Gone with the Wind”). I also took a narrated bus tour on “StarLine” to the Santa Monica Beach and several other locations. I was also fortunate in the ability to attend the Disney performance of “Aladdin” on the January 10th at the beautiful Pantages Theater. The bottom line is Charlotte’s Airbnb is in a great location!
My only comment about the walking is about safety and awareness of surroundings because I did walk at different times of the day, early, midday and as late as 11pm. I have a brisk walk. In addition, I just want to state that I was surprised at the how many homeless people there were in the area.
The Airbnb was a blessing and we felt 100% safe throughout our stay. I would highly recommend to my friends and would like to return in the future!
