Prior to booking with Nadia & Pavel, they were very responsive and answered all of my questions. They were even willing to make an accommodation, which was greatly appreciated.
Pavel was easy to communicate with via the Air BnB app and text leading up to arrival and he warmly greeted me and showed me around the home. I was pleased that the photos of the room and home were accurate and the entire home was clean and setup with guests in mind. In addition to the room where I stayed, there were four other guest rooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen that had areas clearly designated for each guest along with the normal appliances and cookware that you may need to prepare regular meals. There wasn't a living room, but there was ample room designated outside to hang out with comfortable chairs. If you're a smoker, this is where the hosts prefer that you smoke.
The room was just the right size for a single traveler and the twin bed was actually very comfortable with some cozy covers. The other guests that were at the home during my stay were very quiet. However, this particular room is right by the front door and the room window is near the porch and patio, so there can be some minor noise from time to time, but nothing distracting or out of the ordinary.
The entire home was kept very clean (someone comes in once or twice a week to thoroughly clean the common areas) and nicely decorated with some Hollywood themed imagery (in particular, I loved the Audrey Hepburn stuff). There is also a workout room a back garage that I didn't utilize, but it was welcome to have the option.
The location is great (right on the Los Feliz line). A quiet neighborhood overall. Very close to the 101 Freeway that will bring you to a lot of the local hotspots and, if you don't mind taking long walks, you can realistically get to the touristy part of Hollywood, Griffith Park and a few other places of note, including some great breakfast spots and eateries in Los Feliz.
The only small issues that I had the entire month were things beyond the control of the hosts. One was that there was only street parking and there were not often spots on the block. As a result, I often had to park two blocks away. Of course, this is part of the Los Angeles experience and could have been worse. If you can find parking on the street, it is one of the only ones in the immediate area that doesn't have restrictions on parking after 6pm for nonresidents, so hold onto your spot while you can.
Since you are sharing the home with other guests, some of them often leave their dirty dishes in the sink. I found myself doing piles of other people's dishes during the first few nights and eventually had to remind myself that it wasn't my job. It was never disgusting or excessive, but I try to be a very neat person, so it was a minor annoyance.
Overall, I highly recommend Nadia & Pavel's place for anyone looking to visit and explore Los Angeles for a few days or even longer.
