This is one of the best Airbnb’s we have had the opportunity to experience.
Firstly, the space is stylish and extremely comfortable. It reflects the character of LA well with well-themed decor / artworks. The bathroom on the second floor is fantastic (dual vanity) and often in many nice (but not stellar Airbnb’s) a nice bathroom is a detail overlooked.
We loved staying here and made use of the kitchen and dining area which provide all the essentials needed to make basic meals. Big plus.
Whether you are familiar with LA, or a first timer, this location is hard to beat. You are essentially in the Westwood neighborhood (just on the other side of the 405 underpass) which is effectively UCLA and environs. There is plenty to do and eat / drink there if you wish to stay close to home (in a very cozy well kept neighborhood).
Century City is also just 15 minutes away.
However, if you want to venture further afield, you’re basically staying right in the middle of a major corridor of central LA running east to west from West Hollywood to Santa Monica. If you aren’t driving at peak hours, Venice and Manhattan Beaches are approx 20-25min away (we did both of these drives around lunchtime). Downtown LA is 20 minutes at non peak hours (we did the trip in 20min after a Laker game at 10pm in case you’re curious on the time). At peak hours, downtown LA and Silver Lake will take you about 50-60 minutes assuming you’re a comfortable driver and don’t get lost a ton as LA is big.
The location right next to the 405 is huge as there is no choice but to drive in LA and the 405 is one of the chief arteries of the city’s highway network.
I can’t think of anything this property doesn’t have. Highly recommended!
