Liz and Norman's pool house was really spectacular! My husband and I are former Angelenos, so when we travel to LA, we usually have a specific destination/neighborhood in mind. This adorable and stylish studio near downtown Culver City is a great spot! We chose it because I needed to be at Sony studios for a few days, and it was incredibly convenient. The hotel recommended by Sony would have cost almost as much and, obviously, not have been anywhere near as nice (which is why you're considering an AirBnb, right?). Culver City is also like 15 minutes from everything (without traffic), including Venice/Santa Monica, LAX airport, downtown LA, Beverly Hills and Hollywood/West Hollywood. It's just around a half mile/10 minute walk to the restaurants and bars on Culver Blvd, which offer some excellent choices for dinner.
The space was gorgeous, possibly the nicest AirBnB we've ever stayed in. It's very stylish and modern, and the finishes, including the waterfall countertop on the breakfast bar and lovely shower with waterfall showerhead, are clearly high-quality. It's also a very quiet neighborhood full of single family homes (a rarity in the LA area!) and street parking was extremely easy. A guest parking permit was provided for our rental car.
We ran into Norman outside a few times, but otherwise, communication was minimal and everything was very private. We TRIED to be quiet, although we came in after dark a few times, especially the night of our arrival, due to a delayed flight. We had no issues at all while there and would highly recommend this place to anyone!
There are about 17 steps (slightly steep) up to the second-floor unit, above the garage for those with mobility issues.
