I have had many disappointing airbnb experiences in the past.. where photos didn't accurately represent the actual place, room wasn't clean, or something just wasn't what I expected.. And I've also had a few airbnb experiences where everything just met my expectations, but nothing more. But Tamryn's place was the only place where the experience truly exceeded all my expectations.
Check-in was a breeze, Tamryn was very hospitable, location was perfect (personally, I wanted to stay in the vicinity of DTLA but still wanted peace and quiet from the city's hustle and bustle.. and Highland Park/Eagle Rock area is one of my favorite areas in LA where it's safe, charming, and convenient), place was clean, water pressure was just right, bed was comfy, and last but not least, the garden was beautiful! My dog really fell in love with the garden that he didn't want to leave.. and I enjoyed having my morning coffee with the view of the garden.
That said, I only stayed for a few days, but if you are planning on staying longer term, some things that could be an issue are.. 1. there is no washer/dryer in the room (but Tamryn will gladly let you use the washer/dryer in the main house if you let her know in advance) 2. because the studio is on the first floor and Tamryn lives on the one above, hearing footsteps/talking/piano noise is inevitable (it didn't bother me much, but if you are sensitive it might) 3. there is parking, but the space is small, so I suggest you bring a small car or just uber/lyft 4. there is no gas stove, so you can't expect to do any serious cooking (but there is oven toaster and microwave, which was enough for me).
Overall, for my three day stay, I couldn't have asked for more! And I can honestly say this is the only airbnb place (out of approximately 20 I've been) that I would stay again in a heartbeat!
