Holly & David's Larchmont Cottage was perfect: perfectly located, perfectly decorated, perfectly hosted. It's a private detached two-story cottage behind a larger house with a cute enclosed yard in-between. The upstairs of the cottage has a large bedroom with lots of windows (and a skylight), a spacious desk for working, a 40-inch TV on the wall (complete with all the DirecTV channels), and a full bathroom. My wife -- who normally prefers baths -- really enjoyed the large luxurious shower with great water pressure. Behind the French Door entryway of the first floor is a well-equipped kitchenette, a super comfy living room with another 40-inch TV, a small dining room table, and a half-bathroom. The kitchenette has a full-sized fridge, a two-burner stove, a sink with a disposal, a small dishwasher and a toaster-oven. We cooked full meals several times during our stay, and we even had a couple friends over for a BBQ one night.
The decor was stylish yet homey. The place looked as if it had been used for a catalogue shoot for Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn. It was well equipped with almost everything we needed/wanted, and what it didn't initially have was quickly rectified by our super-accommodating hosts. Holly & David were perhaps the friendliest and most hospitable hosts we have ever experienced with Airbnb (and similar un-named services).
