Jeff’s place was perfect for me...a local undergoing demolition at my house a mile away. Jeff was kind enough to roll with me as the demo took longer than anticipated and I really appreciated his kindness when my departure date changed. It was 97 degrees for a few days during my stay and I was grateful for the A/C, the hot water I didn’t have at home, a comfortable bed and the dog-friendly policy. (His dog Archie is adorable). I didn’t use the hot plate but used delivery services for several dinners. I didn’t make use of the smart tv either though I noted it had Netflix and a few other options. The washer/dryer combo is a bonus—large capacity and a totally unusual perk for many Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. Atwater is a safe neighborhood near many terrific restaurants, ice cream shop and a Dunkin’ Donuts (download the app for freebies). I walked my dog early in the morning and late at night with no issues. The description of the casita mentions square footage and “cozy”—please note, it is a small space, with the bed taking up most of the room, certainly okay for my purposes, but it looks bigger in the photos. If you’re a couple, you should really like each other. If you plan to be out of the room most of the time, and are used to the size of many European hotel rooms, it’ll work fine. The little patio area provides a lovely extension but it was too hot for me to enjoy al fresco dining at the bistro table. Street parking is plentiful and I was glad Jeff makes visitors aware so they move their cars on street cleaning days. Not every neighborhood in LA has those rules and I might not have noticed the warning signs. My favorite thing besides Archie—tge gorgeous lemon tree.
