One of my first Airbnb experiences four years ago was with Elen, and it was so enjoyable it made me an Airbnbelieber. This current stay was my first-ever repeat booking on Airbnb, and it was worth it. Elen is a consummate host. She's quick to respond, eager to help, knowledgeable about LA, and very warm and welcoming. Her pad is quiet, cozy, spacious, and full of thoughtful extras like a drying rack, sewing kit, washer/dryer, HBO, and even some snacks. The bed is comfortable, the whole place gets wonderful soft sunlight, the hot water is unlimited, and there are beautiful plants and flowers all around. Having a guaranteed parking spot in this very parking competitive neighborhood is a huge value. We'll always look to Elen's place whenever we next need to come to LA.
