This was my very first experience with Airbnb and it was fantastic. My reservation plans had fallen through 24 hours before my flight to LA and so I had to contact Helen at the last minute. She was very responsive and able to make last minute accommodations. When I arrived, I discovered that her (very clean and beautiful!) home is in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with easy access to anything in LA - not to mention spectacular views. Helen is a wonderful hostess - respectful of all the guests, extremely helpful, and very kind. The room was wonderful - very clean and it had a comfortable bed. I highly recommend staying with Helen - the lodging was perfect.
