Kim’s place is one of the top Airbnb rentals we’ve made over the past few years! Here are some pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Kim maintains the place with great style. Every corner of the property looks stylish. You will feel like living in an old European mansion with a nice pool, tall trees and vintage sculptures.
2. La Verne is a nice quiet town outside of the noisy LA. We had a few nights of good sleep there.
3. Lots of good places to eat near La Verne. Our favorite place to eat and drink is College Heights. Lots of nice restaurants and bars there, and only 10min drive from Kim’s place.
4. Kim’s place is within one hour drive to major attractions in LA area (in normal traffic), such as downtown LA/Hollywood, Anaheim/Disneyland, and Long Beach/Catalina Island ferry.
5. Kim is a good communicator and gives very simple, clear check-in/check-out instructions! You will feel like you’ve been taken good care of.
6. You will feel very safe to stay here. We parked our car on the street and never worried about anyone breaking into our car—something that could keep you up at night when you visit LA.
Cons:
1. The location is good for us who wanted to visit Hollywood, Disneyland, and Long Beach—all three places are scattered apart in LA area—but it may be a bit too far for those who only want to visit one specific area of LA.
2. We got a couple mosquito bites, however, likely because we forgot to keep the doors shut. When you enjoy the nice view of the poor or the back yard, you may want to keep those little bugs away from entering the house!
