What a beautiful and calming space. This is a city apartment that reminded me of all my years living in NYC, the kind of apt my designer/graphic designer friends would design creative living spaces that I would ooooh and ahhh over. I love the minimal, clean, calm aesthetic. To be clear it is a compact apt but designed thoughfully that it feels and looks so spacious. It is an oasis in Los Angeles. I am sensitive to fragrance and do not like air fresheners or aggressive scents/candles. Their home had the lightest frangrance but was soothing. I don't like the excessive use of AC in LA, and I liked that there was an option to open and keep open my bedroom window. Also, at night the door to the balcony was open with a nice breeze. Loved having my own private bathroom, a place to hang my clothes and a desk and chair (I was in LA for work). The location was perfect for all the things I had to get to - work in Santa Monica, UCLA. The bonus was access to the garage when I had a car for a few days. The day I checked in I had a lot of unexpected things go wrong, struggled finding my way around town and dealing with a car. I showed up impatient and frazzled. T was so kind and helped me with my big luggage. The comfort of the home and private space for me to collect myself was invaluable. Both hosts are lovely and gave me room to come and go and be comfortable in their home. I would stay with them again. Also, I appreciate all the house rules and preferences clearly posted for airbnb guests. Thank you to T & M for a lovely stay.
