We are a Midwestern couple visiting grown children in LA. We chose Bainbridge's place because of its location in a neighborhood near our son's apartment. For drivers accustomed to the flatlands, the road to Bainbridge's house was a challenge (steep, with switchback curves), but at the end of the day we liked being above and away from the noise and traffic of the city. Bainbridge was a calm and friendly host, and people in the neighborhood also seemed friendly and had nice dogs. Our studio was perfect--clean, airy, and attractive, with a spacious bathroom equipped with clawfoot-tub and shower. Decor was artsy but subtle. I especially liked the mint-condition 1940s or 50s kitchen table set and the lounging couch that could comfortably double as a bed. Backyard is filled with fruit trees, and though we didn't use it, there's a nice, sunny patio with inviting lawn chairs, umbrella, etc. Access and check-in was a snap, even for senior citizens like ourselves. (Bainbridge guided me smoothly through correction of my booking mistake prior to our stay.) Finally, she left an interesting collection of reading materials in the studio. I found a great novel that kept me engrossed throughout my stay in Los Angeles.
