We just spent 5 nights in Jonelle and David's place. It was perfect. We're from London and didn't know LA. The house is near Venice - great neighbourhood. The studio is in the back yard - it's compact and bijou but perfectly formed. They have really great taste.
They could not have been better hosts - this is the architype of what makes air BnB so great. We were given lots of super pointers on where to eat, get great coffee etc...
David works from home so he's on hand for hints and tips. He was also super kind and generous with us. We even loaned two of their bikes on a couple of days.
You're going to LA and looking for an air BnB.
Stay here.
