My stay with Ryan was like a dream! His home is spacious and he is a host most gracious. This was my first visit to LA and first time using airbnb. I had an amazing experience and staying with Ryan was a large part of the experience. When I landed at LAX and turned my phone on, I had received a text from him, checking in to see I'd landed and all was well. This was so comforting and such a nice touch. It made me feel instantly welcome and special. This kind treatment continued throughout my stay. It is obvious to me he genuinely cares about being a great host. Anytime I had a question, I could text him, and he'd respond promptly with an answer. My room was private and cozy just as described. I loved the loft bed. The mattress was super comfy and the sheets were gorgeous and luxuriously soft. I got the best sleep during my stay! There is a water closet off the kitchen on the first floor which was stylish and a nice amenity. The full bath is upstairs. I always felt like I had the place to myself even when there were other guests or Ryan was home, i.e. didn't feel like I was intruding on someone's space. Not sure how Ryan does it, but he excels at making everyone feel welcome and at ease. Even in the rare moments when we were all in the kitchen, it was always fun and Ryan was like the glue holding us together. His home and decor is even better in person -- absolutely fabulous! The neighborhood is beautiful and I enjoyed late evening walks just people and dog watching. I can't say enough about Ryan and his home - his is definately THE jewel in the airbnb crown.
