Just recently I moved to LA from San Diego. Being born and raised in San Diego I can speak confidently that the area is truly one of the best. Kensington is centrally tucked away while having almost immediate access to freeways; While restaurants, shops and cafes are within walking distance from your stay.
Check-in was very easy as Olga is very on top of communication. I was lucky to meet Olga in person upon my arrival. Within just a few short minutes she gave me a tour of the home while providing great instructions for using certain amenities. There is a beautiful backyard retreat with seating, a bbq, and a fire pit to light in case it gets cold.
Inside is very clean, organized, with thoughtful touches throughout. I comfortably watched a couple of movies in the living room during my stay when I was inside, made coffee in the kitchenette area, and definitely ate the snacks that Olga generously provided!
There are 2 large bedrooms upstairs and a large spotless bathroom, and a very large walk-in closet. Multiple changes of bedding and bathroom towels could be found cleanly and neatly stored away in the closet. I was in town for a wedding for a few days, so having a large enough closet to store my belongings made me feel at home by giving me an "out of sight out of mind" feel with my luggage.
Another great feature of the house is that the downstairs and upstairs each have their own cooling and heating systems. I was very impressed by this stay that I actually overextended and booked another couple days! Olga's home in Kensington will be where I return when I have to head back down to San Diego.
