What a wonderful place for an extended stay! The apartment is cozy, well-designed, and appointed with new appliances, lovely furniture, and a fully outfitted kitchen. Lots of linens, cleaning supplies, and such. Just bring your toothbrush.
The real showstopper is the garden. It is even more lovely than shown in the pictures. It is a unique amenity that makes Mary Ann and Natalie’s place very special. I spent as much time as possible enjoying it. There’s a nice balcony with a treetop view of the garden that’s perfect for working from home on a sunny day.
The neighborhood is perfection. One of the few truly walkable neighborhoods in LA. Montana Avenue is one block away and boasts 10+ blocks of elegant shops, delightful cafes, great restaurants, and two grocery stores including a Whole Foods that’s an easy 10 minute walk. Very LA… so many beautiful people, dogs, and cars.
I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough. It is the best of the best and quite a good deal for the area.
