First of all, Susan and Kevin are the ideal hosts. You'll immediately notice how attentive they are – they respond to Airbnb messages within minutes – so you'll feel like a valued guest. Yet you'll also feel complete privacy. Thanks to them, our stay was nearly perfect.
And their guesthouse couldn't be more charming. A true craftsman home, we melted at every detail. The shower is right out of a fantasy: open air yet totally private, with antique tiles on the floor, surrounded by lush vines and trees. The bed is so comfortable and cozy. The surrounding garden is gorgeous: perfectly green, with equal parts sun and shade – fragrant, and buzzing with hummingbirds. And the rental comes complete with little bonuses like gourmet snacks, pristine white robes, and bicycles for free use. To boot: the best grocery store on the planet (Erewhon) is less than a mile away.
I can't imagine there's a better Airbnb value, anyway in LA.
