* a 'feelin' good experience: the real spirit of Airbnb *
the hosts * they act like Super hosts of Airbnb * here are real lovely peoples. This is a family thing: Rita and her husband are living downstairs, their son Mark is living at the second floor (where they rent this lovely room) and Robert is handling the Internet part. Rita is receiving you and her husband Gary is there if any support is needed. Mark is very lovely and totally respectful (I haven't seen him a lot but it was real pleasure chatting with him). I have done something like 50 B&B, mostly Airbnb, and this was one of the most memorable experience. I felt good there... and since I had a shoe's problem giving me pain, Gary and Rita even offered to bring me by car to the Getty center when I leaved, wow! I certainly appreciated this delicacy, thanks again to both of you... the room: a very lovely spacious room with massage chair, bottle of water, kleenex and even a private tv! Night is quiet. The apartment is not a very fancy place, simple and some collections make it appear crowded but at second sight, you see there is plenty of space, with the living room and the dining room. And you have the kitchen all for yourself with a brand new coffee machine for you to use! Mark is mostly eating downstairs and outside. Rita even provided eggs and bread with yogurt. the location: a short corner from Wilshire and 3 streets from the LACMA; the Farmer's market is an easy walkable distance too (yes, Mark offered to bring me there by car, on the way to his work, thanks again!). There are plenty of coffee shops nearby and some restaurants as well. What to say...: this is a new Airbnb but they have a real good will to make you have the best experience possible. Concerning the cats: one is shy (you don't see her) and the other, Bernarde, is really friendly.
