This is a really cute location, in a beautiful area, perched on a hilly in a beautiful lush historic los angeles neighborhood. The approach up the steps is beautiful, and the private outdoor terrace is beautiful! Donald was a wonderful and very positive host, and checked to make sure i had no problem checking in, and on an unusually cold night (i was there in december xmas eve) he checked to make sure i was warm enough and offered extra comforters if needed.
The space itself is very petite with the daybed taking 1/3 of the main space, but a high ceiling full-size bath with windows/ natural light is off to the side. Lots of windows. The double patio doors look straight from the daybed onto a beatiful large private terrace with dining table and soft seating, umbrella and planting, overlooking the treetops with beautiful views and sunshine. I do wish i had been there during nicer weather! Also, i was staying in an airbnb to relieve my sisters house of xmas guests, so most of my time was spent at her house during the day.
Some details of the interior were a little aged/worn/quirks, but overall a general good value. House itself is (i think?) 1920's-30's ish Mission Revival style with stucco walls and clay roof tiles. The interior of the space itself seems like a simple recent rennovation, but keeping the existing charming historic doors and windows. Dimmer switches on all the lighting was a huge plus. The smallish firm daybed is the only real piece of furniture indoors, (besides the surround built across the washer/dryer to create a tall deep countertop/table surface, and the tall storage cabinet) but if the weather is good you'll be living out on the terrace or exploring the area.
This is in a great central location for walking around and experiencing LA that is historic homes, hilly lush streets, and walkable neighborhoods.
I enjoyed the stay as a solo traveler who doesnt need large opulent bnb's.
