If I left a novel of a review praising Pia & Tino's guest suite, it still wouldn't be long enough or enough words to express how much I loved this place! I knew from the listing it was going to be beautiful from the photos alone but the photos don't do it enough justice honestly. I fell in love the moment I walked in. If I could move in to this spot tomorrow I would absolutely pack all my belongings (that matched their decor of course lol) and leave.
The attention to detail in the entire place is amazing. From the spiral laminated welcome book that has details of every little thing in the apartment, amenities, how to order food correctly so the drivers don't get lost as an example, flash cards detailing what light switch does what, what the key hanging on the wall is for (the fire pit outside), the labeled remotes detailing which is for what electronic device, almost everything in the apartment comes with well detailed instructions in the book or a card displaying what each thing does. They make it super easy to find things and know what it is/how to use it or discover things you might have overlooked.
The tall suede canvases and art canvas are an amazing way to keep the decor of the place together while serving their purpose which I appreciated aesthetically. The shower is amazing and spacious. Felt like I was in a fancy hotel shower. The kitchen was the perfect size for me personally. I appreciated that even thought they provided coffee and sugar, they had the pods for you to put your own coffee in that worked with the coffee machine provided which was great. The closet was very spacious and hidden aesthetically looks great. Provided a big warm down comforter for the night when it gets cold. Not even gassing it up but the bed sheets felt like suede when I woke up and 4 down pillows were super comfortable!
The whole place was styled so amazing. I loved the shades of grey everywhere from Light Grey to Charcoal with accents of Black/White/Natural Wood. I was blown away because it was mostly Ikea furniture but it was a testament to the fact that if you pick all the right pieces and put them together you don't necessarily need the most expensive furniture available to put together a stylish and comfortable spot.
Woke up one morning and had my coffee overlooking the hills and Hollywood sign taking in the fresh air and was lucky enough to make it back in time for the sunset which was breath taking. Sat inside with the lights off and watched everything outside the double doors glow then stepped out for the end of it and caught the reflections off the house/glass doors, it was magic.
I created a list of AirBNB's to check out whenever I travel but this one is easily at the top of my list and anytime I'm in Los Angeles and theres an availability, I'm 100% booking a stay. I recommended it to a bunch of my friends already who saw my photos and asked because they too were blown away. I've stayed at a bunch of AirBNB's before and typically its just a house and the hosts throw whatever furniture they can find and get away with to make a quick buck but disappoint, so I wanted to try Air BNB Plus this stay since I never had before and I will say that even though its a bit more expensive, it is 100% worth every cent if its like how Pia & Tino's place is. I already miss it. Thank you Pia & Tino for hosting me and I can't wait to return.
