Leron is a wonderful host. Very responsive before, during, and after my trip. He also had excellent suggestions of places to check out during my stay including a couple of beautiful nearby running paths.
The studio is on the first floor and Leron and his family live on the two floors above. The room has nice natural light, the walk-in closet is spacious, and there’s a chest of drawers (aka TV stand) too. The front yard is tied to the AirBnB unit and I spent several afternoons out there on the comfy couch.
It’s located in a beautiful, clean and safe neighborhood of Playa Vista. Around the corner, there are three restaurants, a convenience store, a day spa, and a nail salon, about a 5 min walk away. There’s a shopping plaza with Wholefoods, Starbucks, several restaurants, a cinema, and CVS about a 10-minute walk away. Street parking was no problem.
The AirBnB room is located right below their kitchen and dining room and it’s clear there’s no carpeting in either room. This wasn’t a problem for me because their quiet hours were roughly 10 pm - 7 am.
I rented out the room for four weeks and the first three weeks were wonderful. Unfortunately for the last week of my stay, the rest of the house was rented out and the renter’s quiet hours were much shorter and quite disruptive to me. (I’m a pretty sensitive sleeper, so this was an unexpected and disappointing situation). I’d suggest when you book, be sure to confirm with Leron that his (the upper portion) of the house won’t be rented out during your stay and you’ll have a good experience in this lovely room.
