Great hosts, great airbnb.
Firstly, communication:
Lauren or Tal messaged us a few days before check-in complete with all the details needed. ALL. The details. This left us with no questions on the day (night) of our arrival, after we had finished fighting off the crowds and then waiting to get out of LAX, and getting to the airbnb at 10:30pm. Prior to getting to the airbnb, it had been a long night, but their level of detail had us in the unit within five minutes. Efficient and stress-free.
When we got inside and had a look around, we found all sorts of helpful notes placed strategically to help us navigate and better the amenities better. Make sure to read them! Again, we had no questions for the hosts because they had communicated so abundantly and clearly to us.
Secondly, the location:
This is a great location to set up base, as it is relatively central, and easily within driving or ride-sharing distance to some major locations or neighborhoods. It is in a residential area, with parking on both sides, on a comfortable two-lane street. As it is not on a major road, had great and uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. Safe neighborhood, and no loud trucks regularly driving through. A typical wait time of a ride-share took about 5-6 minutes before arrival.
Third, the actual airbnb:
The first “barrier” to the unit is a gate equipped with a keypad. The neighborhood is in a great area as previously mentioned, but the addition of this made us feel that much more safe in living here for the entirety of our trip. The second “barrier” is a glass sliding door, and the main way to get in or out is with the physical key. There is a curtain to maintain privacy.
Pillows are plenty, and beds are comfortable; there is a third bed available in the closet, if needed. Each bed had a nice set of towels folded up, complete with individually-wrapped chocolate. There is a nice usb charging station located next to the king-sized bed, perfect for those with multiple devices.
Table has a coffeemaker, a roll of paper towels, a few mugs and utensils, and some coffee-tea needs. Comes with two chairs.
The best part might be the bathroom. Well-lit and comfortable to move around in. Storage cabinet holds all the possible toiletries one might have forgotten to bring for oneself. There is a towel rack. The sink has enough space on both sides to accommodate for holding 2 travelers’ regularly used items. Outlet to the left of the sink came in handy when I used a curling iron. Finally, the shower/tub. There is the overhead nozzle as well as a handheld. The tub is actually a Jacuzzi bath tub, but unfortunately we did not have the time to give it a try. It looked pretty great, though.
I would book with them again.
