My first Air Bnb experience was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend Alisa's apartment enough. It was spacious (2 floors!), clean, and had charming decoration. Alisa made every part of our stay an easy process. From the beginning, she was always communicative and pleasant to interact with.

When we arrived, the house was spotless, a welcome basket of food was in the kitchen, huge white towels and a few toiletries were provided and she had left us suggestions for local destinations, even giving specific ideas when I asked about dance/gym studios in the area. On that note, the apartment also comes equipped with some free weights and an elliptical, which was a nice bonus, even if during our stay it served more for decoration than use.

The location allowed for us to walk around and get to many places without a car - Fairfax shops (Whole Foods, Starbucks, various clothing stores), Beverly Center, not to mention the numerous boutiques and restaurants that surrounded the area. A car ride easily got us to many places outside the neighborhood in little time, never more than 30 minutes: Santa Monica Pier, Silver Lake, Melrose etc.

All around just a wonderful experience and we were certainly sad to leave. Like I said, I can't recommend this place enough. Hopefully on my next trip to LA, I'll be able to stay here again. It was a great way to begin my Air BnB adventures.
