5 stars across the board! Brie's house, the location, and entire experience exceeded all expectations.
Our family of four + dog thoroughly enjoyed our 2 month stay here while relocating from the midwest. The location is prime, with excellent daytime walkability to great restaurants and stores. Head down the walking street and you are transported to a simpler time with quaint homes, lovely neighbors to chat with, and no LA traffic to dodge. It takes roughly 15 mins of relaxed walking to get to Abbot Kinney and the canals.
Brie is committed to providing a great experience and is the most gracious host we have met through airbnb. She is relaxed and trusting, never hassling us with a laundry list of rules or persnickety requirements.
The back patio/outdoor dining area are perfectly nestled between the main house and guest suite. Our girls loved playing in the guest suite ("their house"), allowing them to feel independent without mom and dad having to worry about their whereabouts. The entire property is beautifully landscaped and maintained. Our dog was securely fenced and loved every minute of his indoor/outdoor living access.
Brie went above and beyond--whenever we requested support she was at the ready, but that was rare because she kept us well looked-after with proactive planning. When folks had to visit for maintenance, she gave notice well in advance. The housekeeping is superb and completely trustworthy.
Enclosed parking is a luxury around here; as a car geek, I appreciated the amount of space to fit our two cars behind a secure and easy-to-operate gate. It's a bit of a tight entry, so bring your A game if you have a large vehicle.
Brie's place should be at the top of your short list. Do not hesitate to book. You will love it--and miss it when you leave!
