Patricia is a wonderful host who goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome. In my experience, it's rare these days to find experiences like this in rentals - and staying at Patricia's reminded me of what it was like to rent in the early days of Airbnb.
The rental is in a beautiful area of the city, tucked away in the hills. If you're not familiar with Mount Washington, the streets are narrow and windy - but you adjust to them quickly, and Patricia makes sure you have a spot to park right out front. You're nestled between Eagle Rock and Highland Park, both areas where you can find excellent food and a ton to do.
The unit itself is comfortable and cozy. I stayed with 2 other adults and it didn't feel cramped at all. I do think it's likely a better setup for two adults and a younger child (as the restroom is accessible via the the main bedroom, not the living room), but this arrangement worked out well for my parents and I. The porch balcony is to die for, and we enjoyed some meals and wine out there. Only other thing to note is that the unit is down a flight of stairs, which isn't long but for those with mobility challenges it's something to be aware of.
Patricia checked in on us early in our stay and made sure we knew she was available via text to address any concerns. She welcomed us warmly when we arrived and was just so friendly! The world needs more hosts like Patricia.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and will certainly recommend it to other folks staying in LA.
