I cannot say enough (but I'll try!) about what a surprising pleasure it was to stay at Bill's wonderful home. I use the word "surprising" because although I knew from the listing that the home was great - it far exceeded my expectations. The house is located in the most ideal, quiet neighborhood - the perfect location. Easy and ample street parking - never had a problem finding a spot out front. Just blocks away is a Whole Foods, Starbucks, a grocery store and a place to get the best NY bagel w/ cream cheese that I've had in a long time! My room and bath were clean and tidy and the bed was soooo comfortable! Sitting in Bill's beautifully manicured back yard looking out at Century City and the Hollywood Hills while sipping coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening was wonderful. There is a large, well appointed kitchen, which was great for preparing quick meals when I didn't feel like dining out. On some mornings, Bill and I would run into each another in the kitchen while getting our breakfast and it was always such a pleasure to chat with him a bit before we each got started with our day.
During the booking process through the Airbnb site, there was a major glitch on my end. It went on for a full day and evening, frustrating to say the least-- but through it all, Bill stayed with me on it until we got it solved. (Thank you, Bill for your amazing patience and perseverance!)
Kind, friendly, thorough and interesting to talk with about his amazing world travels, this is a host that made me feel as comfortable in his home as I do in my own. If you are looking for an easy, smooth stay in a great house, in a terrific neighborhood with a wonderful host.....stay at Bill's place!
