This was my first time using airbnb to stay somewhere and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The place is how it's pictured--not a huge amount of space, but definitely enough for two people. I never felt crammed or like there wasn't enough room for myself or my friend to get ready or put our things. We didn't use the kitchen or the washing machine or dryer, but everything was accessible and anything we needed was provided. We came and went whenever we pleased and were provided with a key to the green, main gate entrance and to the apartment we stayed in, which was just a few steps up from the gate.

I stayed here with a friend. We are two girls in our mid-twenties and felt completely safe. The neighborhood was charming you could tell the neighbors knew each other and looked out for one another. The only thing that could potentially be an issue to some is parking. Parking is FREE and we always found a spot on the street the house is on, but the road is a bit narrow and on a hill. It is a straight road though making it easy to back up, if needed. If you don't feel comfortable trying to park in tighter spaces, simply don't go all the way up the hill, park at the bottom and it's only a very, very short walk.

The location of this place is great. You truly can see the Hollywood sign directly in front of you as you turn onto the street. I know there were cool places to walk to, but I didn't have time to check them out. It wasn't a bad drive to get to anywhere. It was an easy, short drive to Griffith Park, the Hollywood Walk of Fame area, Sunset Blvd area, Runyon Canyon and Beverly Hills. It was a bit of a longer drive to Venice, Santa Monica, and Malibu, but still a very easy drive and if you want to stay close to those places, don't expect to have this great of a price in addition to this level of safety.

Rebecca was an amazing host. She was very helpful and efficient in her responses to any questions we had. Our correspondence via email was so great, I'm actually really sad that I didn't get to meet her in person. Our schedules just never matched up because I was gone the majority of the day.

I highly recommend staying here. It was an incredible experience and I hope to stay here again the next time I make it to Los Angeles.

Thank you again, Rebecca!
