This was my first Airbnb experience and Tim and Drew has exceeded every expectation! I was lucky to find their place available after 2 weeks of research reading reviews after reviews on so many places. I was also so happy I was able to book a week because that week went by super fast and the discount made it possible for me to do so at such a great location! They are such a super host...as a guest you are treated with the master suite and privacy of an in room full bathroom! Super comfy bed and pillows to sink in at the end of the day. Their home is definitely showroom and ready to sell with tasteful furnishings and just enough whimsy that made me laugh and smile. It was such a great experience to be in a home that is loved and it inspired me to have a home like theirs. The location was convenient and bonus car garage was a win! I was able to go to Santa Monica Piers to enjoy the beach in 30 minutes and watch the sunset and enjoy the scenic views of LA from Runyon Canyon and Griffith Park in 20 minutes from their location. There were also many good places to eat just walking distance from their home after driving around so much it was nice to know I could park and easily find a good place to eat. Coffee lovers can delight...all in walking distance or a quick drive away. Moon juice (cafe) for those looking for luxury and cold pressed options less than 5 min walk, Lamill Coffee if you like celebrity sightings, and less than a 5 min drive on sunset to a cool place called, "Stories" for a good book and mug of hot coffee. There's also a great organic store called, Lassen's that I frequented for hot soups and cold beverages to go...and enjoy back at home. My favorite place to sit back is their sunroom where you have an inside outside feel. The day bed in that room was also comfy. They kept the place very clean!
At the end of the day....for those travelling alone...it was really nice to be able to share my experience and get advice when needed from Drew and the opportunity to hangout a bit before retiring to bed made it feel like I was staying at a good friends place. In a community like this it's easy to make new friends you want to keep along the journey.
I am so thankful for the opportunity that Airbnb has provided in creating this community and for Tim and Drew for opening their beautiful home and allowing me to stay as a guest. This stay was pivotal in making my move from NYC to LA a smooth and successful one...thank you so much! Without hesitation I'd recommend a stay at Tim and Drew's for a safe, clean, and convenient location with world class hosts!
