My daughter and I had the fortunate experience to happen upon this property owned by Petrula V. Normally we try to stay by the beach but that was not affordable this time of year. We’re from LA originally and this location was perfect because we were close to family that we were visiting. As it turned out, it was the perfect location for everything! Staying in this section of West LA is the best jumping off point for everything you might want to do in Los Angeles. You’re close to the 10 and the 405 – Heading to the beach? Surface streets get you there quickly and it’s a lovely drive if you take National to Ocean Park. You have access to shopping, markets, downtown by freeway, walking distance to a wonderful theater and restaurants, etc. The apartment is adjacent to Petrula’s home, but it is very private. You have your own entrance to this lovely space. The website is a little deceptive (I think) in terms of what this location has to offer. We were so pleasantly surprised when we saw the space. It is a great size – very roomy – very comfortable – beautiful outdoor space that is shared with Petrula, who is a very generous, warm, welcoming woman. There is a kitchen space, small, but perfect if you don’t plan on cooking “real” meals, no stove, oven, or dishwasher, BUT there are a couple of portable burners and Petrula has equipped the space with everything you need. Kitchen also includes washer and dryer (always a plus)! You absolutely feel at home in this warm, beautifully designed space. We have used Airbnb a few times now and this has been the best experience.
We would, without a doubt, stay at Petrula V’s home again.
