I needed accommodation in LA at very short notice due to a family emergency and I was very fortunate that Shab and Ari's apartment was available. Not only was it close to the hospital but it is in an amazing area of LA (that I look forward to coming back to explore in happier times).

I really just needed a place to sleep and shower, but I got SO much more. The apartment was a safe haven, a place of respite from the stress of hours spent at hospital. The bed was unbelievably comfortable with silky soft sheets - and the shower was enormous and luxurious with soft, fluffy (and plentiful) towels. The apartment itself is super clean and modern with comfortable, stylish furniture and adorned with gorgeous art.

But it was the little things that really made this such a wonderful Airbnb experience. The easy (and early) check in. The personal and genuinely thoughtful welcome note. The bottle of wine (much needed). The delicious chocolate chip cookies (not at all needed, but devoured nonetheless). The provisions in the fridge. The private patio. I didn't get a chance to use the pool or the gym, but they looked great. I didn't even have time to do my laundry but there is a washer and dryer right there in the apartment for your convenience.

This place was just awesome and if I had to say one negative thing about it, it would be that I'm afraid it won't be available next time I visit LA. I couldn't recommend it more.
