W.C. and Elly made us feel quite welcome from the start with their quick answers to our email questions, their detailed and helpful "household manual," the gracious wine, beer, cheese, fruit etc that greeted us there, and the generally nicely-stocked bungalow. Their warm, friendly spirit, along with their gentle (email) checking-in to see how we were doing there, and the ease with which we could communicate with them all felt most cordial. They were readily accessible during our stay to answer any question. They also offered helpful tour information on the website and at the location. The clarity and detail of their information and communications made for a no-unhappy-surprise arrival/stay/departure and for a most comfortable and productive time.

The listing was just as described, with the photos also accurately portraying the decor.

We loved the convenient location, close to the metro, Hollywood Blvd, the Hollywood Bowl and so much else. And indeed a true hideaway, as from another era.

It's our first time using Airbnb, and we would consider ourselves most fortunate if all future Airbnb experiences would be as pleasant, easy, straight-forward and homey as this one.
