We couldn't have asked for a better of easier first experience using Air BnB. The location was perfect for us, as most of our business was north of Los Angeles, but it was still pretty easy to get into the city when we wanted to. The neighborhood felt very safe and I never once worried about our belongings in the cottage or the car out front.
The cottage was very clean, AC worked great, and the kitchen was spacious. Listen to their suggestions too, we went to the Italian restaurant George's and the French Bakery in Kenneth Village (walking distance) and both were superb.
Next time we come back to this area, we'll first check to see if this place is available!
