Stayed at Matthew's place for my LA stretch of vacation - for 2 nights. This was my first time in LA and using Airbnb, so glad everything turned out so well! His place was exactly like the pictures but wished it had one more light fixture at times. Not a big deal though. Cozy, fitting for my boyfriend and I. All the basic essential was there (ie AWESOME hair dryer, toiletries stacked, iron, etc) We rented a car, was initially worried about street parking. Matthew was very kind to lend a street permit in case we couldn't find a space, the permit was for a street just around the corner. But it was a breeze finding a spot every night (even close to midnight) and within a few steps of the house. So we didn't even need to use the permit. The location was really great. 15-20 mins (including traffic) drive from where we wanted to go - all the touristy spots. The area felt safe and very quiet. There was a nearby awesome breakfast place on Melrose within 5 mins walk (called Blu Jam Cafe). Matthew was really nice, recommended a few places for us to visit / try before our arrival. Smooth experience and kept in contact throughout our trip when we needed. Awesome time! Thanks Matthew!
