I can not "rave" enough about what excellent hosts William and Elizabeth are. They are extremely accommodating and very polite. They are very prompt in their responses to inquiries and really do a great job ensuring that all questions are answered. I was heading out for my first hot air balloon ride & cruise out of Long Beach and just needed a place for the night. My flight got in early and they allowed me to check in a little ahead of time which I truly appreciated.
Upon arrival I was very impressed with the accommodations. The small cottage/room is the perfect space if traveling alone and would comfortably accommodate two adults. The pictures that you see are exactly what you get. However they fail to leave out all of the lovely extras that they include such as snacks and drinks. The hot tub, pool and outside patio were a heaven sent after traveling. Not. to mention the washer,dryer, coffee maker and ample toiletries.
My drive from the LAX airport took about 40 minutes give or take and the property is right off of a very busy strip. You can even see the Hollywood sign which is close by. The Griffith Observatory is only a 5 minute drive away, it is free and I would highly recommend a visit if you have time to kill. Just be prepared to spend some time in traffic as this is a popular tourist attraction. In walking distance is a McDonalds and a Del Taco which are both open 24 hours. The hosts leave a great guide with local restaurants, bars and things to do. Yelp is always a lifesaver for me as well for food and entertainment.
There is street parking on a residential street and I had no problem finding a spot. My only very small inconvenience was walking around their vehicles with my luggage which could easily be remedied by them moving their car over a sliver.
These two really go above and beyond to ensure that you have a very pleasant stay and truly embody what I believe Airbnb is all about. If you get a chance to stay here, don't miss the chance. You will be very delighted.
