I spent my first month in Los Angeles as a guest in the wonderful apartment provided by Oren and Kara. I used that time to search for a permanent rental. and their private place provided a particularly special welcome to the West Coast. Everything a vacationer or visitor could want was available in the many storage places in the apartment. And, if I was unable to locate anything -- or needed a referral to a salon or coffee shop -- a text to my hosts quickly answered my query. Along with the apartment, the location is ideal. I walked to Sunset Junction every day and took Metro buses everywhere -- including Studio City and West Hollywood. I used Uber for other trips. (You can manage in L.A. without a car.) When I did eventually find my permanent apartment, and made my final walk through at Oren and Kara's place, I felt nostalgic, as if I were leaving my own home. I would definitely recommend their place as an ideal L.A. Airbnb.
