Staying at a "newbie" is sort of like playing Russian Roulette, with airbnb, so being the first to stay at Skye's was me being crazy. Well, happy to report, this turned out to be a sigh of relief. Skye's place, I'm pretty sure, is one of the best on the block- duplex seems to be all newly remodeled- great looking kitchen, minimalistic (that equals good in my book) living room, updated bath... Very clean, good natural light. Really nicely done for a new listing. Could use more cutlery; just two forks, spoons, knives; but I'm sure she'll get there. Bunch of extra linens, which is great as there is no laundry onsite, and Skye was kind enough to pick up linens to wash after about a week, and drop off next day (we stayed for about 20 days I think). Lovely backyard, that I wish I got to use more. Driveway for your car, so no parking worries. So, home, absolutely comfortable. Neighborhood? Not great. This is a place is you need to be close to nearby Burbank/North Hollywood, etc. Not a place to take a neighborhood stroll. Stray animals, dogs barking a lot, party one night that was so loud, going from mid afternoon to after 11pm that I had to call the police. All not hosts fault, obviously, but keep in mind, if like me, you are one that loves to take relaxing, evening strolls through the lovely neighborhood- not happening here. But, the home, for comfort and cleanliness and the host, definitely think you'd be pleased.
