I've stayed in several airbnb's over the years and this little jewel is definitely one of my favorites. Jooles is so easy-going and flexible and super responsive. Because of her clear info and other's great reviews, I was totally prepared for what I would find. Her place would be pristinely clean, cozy and comfy, with such lovingly tended and peaceful outdoor spaces. I also knew that I would be climbing a secret stone staircase (I counted 137 ) up to her little cottage as this is the only way to park and access it. And I knew that I would need to feed her two outdoor kitties, so if you don't want to deal with the latter 2 details, don't choose her place, but I like stair climbing so that wasn't a problem (plus you can load and unload your luggage etc. on the road above the stairs but you just can't park there). Feeding the cats took about a minute of my time. I brought my little poodle and settled right in. My only issue was an unforeseen heatwave. LA was truly hotter than hell at 109 degrees and no real relief at night. Jooles has AC but I wasn't able to enjoy the little garden areas outside, but I plan to return in the fall so I can lie in the comfy bed with the french doors open wide and listen to the birds.
