This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great. As an airbnb 'rookie,' my veteran airbnb host Leeah was patient and very helpful in guiding me through the process of booking her place. Lots of timely communications and quick answers to the many questions I had. She made me feel very comfortable using airbnb. Leeah and Mic's private 'Studio K' was terrific. It is in one of the most centrally located neighborhoods in the LA area. Right in the middle of town. Very quiet nice street and surrounding residential area. Walk down the block to a supermarket, shops and restaurants. Street parking easy and during my stay I was able to use their driveway most nights to park in.

The studio was newly remodeled and in perfect shape. Spotlessly clean. Private entrance in back of main house. The private studio was very roomy, with a very comfortable bed and good lighting over the bed, along with convenient bedside tables on each side of the bed. I had an additional guest with me for a couple of the 8 nights I stayed there and was provided a very comfortable single fold out bed for him. Kitchen table, sink, toaster, small fridge and microwave was provided, along with needed utensils and dishes. Bathroom was spotlessly clean, comfortable, colorful and bright, with nice shower and oblong shaped toilet, with I always prefer to a round seat one. Big fluffy towels too.

Apartment was airy, bright, had a nice small couch and comfortable sitting chair, plenty of room to stretch out and relax. One nice touch was the sliding outside screen door, so you could open the entrance door and let fresh air in, but not the mosquitoes. Liked that that there was a combo fire/carbon monoxide detector on the ceiling. Window air conditioner was good to have too. There was a closet area with shelves, lots of space for my luggage and hanging clothes. Plenty of outlets on the walls for plugging in and charging my different devices. There were also current LA event magazines and a number of books about LA in the apartment. The wireless internet service worked perfectly and was fast. Very nice little yard outside the door for sitting in. And there was access to an upper back balcony on the main house, with seating and a nice view of the high rises of downtown LA, just a few miles away. The main house above and the neighbors houses on both sides were quiet.

My hosts Mic and Leeah were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They even did a couple of loads of laundry for me during my stay. They invited me to join them for a couple of meals in their house. They were flexible and accommodating with my check in and check out times. I had a number of nice conversations with Leeah and Mic during my stay and now consider them new friends of mine. I highly highly recommend staying at 'Studio K'!!
