Ling and David are kind and nice couple. It has nice view. It is a place when you need to have a view and hide away from the city.

Love it hope you guys taker of the house more from the outside other than that can wait to get back

LOVE LOVE LOVE! This place was fantastic. The pictures don't do it justice. Epic views. Ling and David were very sweet and accommodating. Great place to stay for a romantic getaway.

Dear Ling and David Thank you very much. It became the best vacation. I appreciate your graceful communication correspondence. I tell my friends that this staying was great excitement. Regards Rie and Atsushi

Excellent stay... Elegant property with an amazing view. The house is kept very clean. Ling and David are amazing hosts as well, always here to help if you got any questions. This place is really recommended and don't hesitate the house look even better in real than in the pictures

Ling and David's place is incredible. The views are awesome and the scenic, windy drive up to the house off of the PCH is incredible too. The home itself is cozy, clean, and functional for cooking and relaxing. As others said, you can hear footsteps upstairs sometimes, but seriously not a big deal at all. Another thing to keep in mind: June is often a foggy/cloudy month of the year in the LA area so views and sunlight may be obstructed throughout the day, but again really nothing can take away from the awe of those windows overlooking the valley. Would definitely recommend!

The best place in Malibu! Perfect! 非常非常喜欢!开车到吃喝玩乐个景点都很方便。非常华丽的大别墅,内部设施很舒适,海景山景超级棒!完美!

This place was like heaven! Seriously. If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a god living in Olympus over the clouds, this house will make you feel it. The views were single handedly the most beautiful thing about this listing. You could see all the surrounding canyons, the ocean, and the clouds rolling in and out each morning while you sat atop them. It was spectacular. The drive to the listing was amazing, although if you fear heights it was quite scary and steep on the roads so watch out! We spent hours just driving and walking on all the beautiful scenic roads that surrounded this listing. With this listing (as with any listing in canyons or mountains), it is a trip to get to the bottom and top, so we tacked on an extra 20-30 minutes to our trips. The location of the home was awesome and we were close to major hiking trails in Malibu (like the Escandido Falls, Malibu Creek State Park, Topanga State park, etc.) and we were super close to Pacific 1 and there were endless beaches for days, and a large variety of famous restaurants to choose from. The house itself was very nice. The outside property was stunning, and the inside of the house was nice too. Like in other reviews, I will say that the pictures of this listing were my main problem. The listing looked much more high-end in the photos than it did in person. Here's my critique in general: Although fans were provided, it was WAY TOO HOT and the space had poor ventilation. I went to Target to pick up a big, cheap $20 fan and put it directly in front of the window to pull in the cool air. After I did this, it cooled down the entire place beautifully, but I think the homeowners should think about fixing this so guests don't have to find solutions. It was also a slight nightmare to cook before I did this because too much smoke/steam filled the air due to poor ventilation (they had a stove top fan, but it wasn't enough). Another thing, there is NO bathroom door! Even more, the bathroom walls do not go all the way to the ceiling. It is a very open space. The walls didn't bother us much but the curtain was a killer. It wasn't long enough to really cover the "door" space fully and it was a hassle trying to get any type of privacy. Maybe in the future a pocket door or an accordion would be a good idea. Although we loved the space, we did feel that the pictures were a little misleading. When we arrived our expectations from the photos were not entirely met and we did not like how in the photos, furniture was rearranged to make things look different. My suggestion would be to just take simple photos and let the house speak for itself because it is beautiful! Although...

Not only was the apartment lovely, but Colette went out of her way to make all the logistics of my stay smooth. I had to check out very early in the morning, which entailed getting the parking pass back to her at 6 a.m., and Colette couldn't have been more gracious about it.

Colette and her home were welcoming and had everything I needed for my stay. She made herself available, even for a very early departure. I had a very welcoming and enjoyable stay at My Little Paris. Thank you Colette!

First, let me say that Colette was an absolute delight to meet in person! From the very beginning she had excellent communication and went out of her way to make everything as smooth as possible. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and spotless! It's in a central location of Los Angeles with great access to everything. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for an absolute steal of a value. The apartment was worth much more than listed for and I will definitely be staying here again :)

This is one of our favorite spots in DTLA. The apartment is charming, exceptionally well equipped, surprisingly quiet and spotless. Comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen and luxurious bath complete the package. Communication and logistics couldn't be easier.

My host was the best! She met me in the parking lot and waited for me even though I got a little lost. She was very helpful and the apartment was beautiful. Exactly what was described is what I got. It was very safe. Loved my whole experience.

Colette is very helpful in our stay, my trip was delayed and she waited 2 hr while we were contacted by text all time.Being downtown location is the best to explore city exciting place. Room is very clean and even had iron for used. High recommend.

Colette has a wonderful place and she is a wonderful host. Very nice apartment, fantastic taste for the decoration and great attention to the details that can make you stay even more enjoyable. Very clean and comfortable which is very important for us since we are always traveling most the time for businesses so we want to be able to rest in an inviting atmosphere. Colette is very kind and very responsive, we will definitely recommend her place.

This place has charm. Fortunately its merits don't end there. It's centrally located and walking distance from many of the attractions in downtown and a stones throw away from the Metro station that will take you all over the city should you be so inclined. The place was clean, the A/C was cool, the complementary water in the fridge was a nice touch, the towels were absorbent...I really dug the place. Colette was a great host, easy to reach, and provided detailed information too. I'd definitely stay here again.

What a charming place to stay in San Diego!! Rene keeps the apartment very clean and tidy. A quick $5 Uber to the Gaslamp District doesn't hurt either. I highly recommend this spot.

I had a wonderful time at Rene's place! The apartment is clean, quiet and Rene really makes it feel like home. There are a plenty of towels, shampoo, soap, water and soft drinks in the fridge...I can defenitely recommend this place! One of my best AirBnb experiences!

Rene, what an absolute gent. A lovely house (quirky yet very homely) and a lovely host! Great location. A real gem, great for young couples looking for an adventure in San Diego!

Rene was clear and timely with his check-in instructions. The apartment is unique and beautiful just as the pictures show! There are some things to do in the immediate neighborhood and everything else is an easy 10-15 min drive away. Rene created a book with great recommendations. Overall, we had an awesome stay! Thanks so much

Rene was a great host. He met me as soon as I arrived. The apartment is decorated beautifully. He even had a very inventive idea of making a bound book that tells about this historic residence along with surrounding areas, pictures and personal recommendations for shops and restaurants. His place is in a great location that is only a little ways from downtown, Petco Park, Little Italy and the Gaslamp District. Upon arrival he had the fridge stocked with sodas, milk, and waters. This was the best Airbnb place I have stayed at so far. I highly recommend Rene's apartment.

Our stay at the Victorian loft was great. The location is very close to the Gaslamp, and other popular places in San Diego. The loft was neat and very clean and the description for the loft is accurate. Rene is a friendly host and we appreciate all he had prepared for our stay. The loft will definitely be on our list when we visit San Diego again.

Fantastic apartment in a gorgeous house! Definitely our favourite stay during our 20 day trip in California! Rene is a wonderful host! He provided everything we might have needed and he had a perfectly clean house with all the amenities waiting for is! We will return back for sure and will recommend to anyone we know Rene's apartment.

Rene made us feel welcome from the first message communication inquiry! Promptly answered any inquiries and concerns throughout process and stay. Kindly accommodating to a later check in request. Place is quaint with a lot of charm and personality + some of the conveniences of home. Geographically a great location from all the hot spots in San Diego. Like any city you have good and bad areas. Being L.A. natives we never felt unsafe coming to and from our activities/destinations day or night from the loft. Enjoyed our visit!

Kristy's little place is exactly as pictured. Very clean, homey, comfortable. Great location - walkable to beach, Newport St, restaurants, stores. Great bed, roomy bathroom. I loved it as a retreat from hectic meetings on this trip. Only trouble was I had to climb on wall to unlatch first gate.

Kristy's place was perfect! She was very communicative, flexible, and made me feel very welcome. The apartment was clean, full of light, and quiet. I loved being able to walk to the beach every morning to surf, and to the local restaurants and bars every night. Never needed my car. Great stay! Thanks.

The Beachway Hobbit Home was just as advertised and Kristy was awesome with her quick response time and genuinely made us feel at home. The bikes were awesome and we really got around with ease - great amenity! We will try to stay here next time we are in S.D. Thanks Kristy! Greg

The Beachway Hobbit Home was exactly what I needed after two weeks on the road for work. This spot provided me easy access to the beach and town where there is plenty to explore. Hope to return to the Beachway Hobbit Home! Thanks Kristy!

Really enjoyed our stay at Kristy's place. It had everything that we could have wanted. We were close to the beach and town and had the opportunity to enjoy both.

Host was very easy to contact, available and helpful, the unit was very clean and comfortable, the location is in a great neighborhood nearby many v star restaurants, a walk to the beach. The only drawback about this part of San Diego is that it is in the flight path of all departing airplanes... this can get noisy at times

Kristy kept good communication before our trip and upon arrival to welcome us to the Hobbit house. The place was as listed 2 blocks from the beach and within walking distance of anything you would need in OB. Its the perfect place for a couples get away or a business trip. Very friendly hosts and clean comfortable place. I may even try to stay here again on my next trip to SD!

The Beachway Hobbit Home was a great place to stay during out time in Ocean Beach. Just a few blocks from the beach, and a few blocks from our family. Check in and check out went smoothly. Kristy's directions were clear, the Hobbit home was clean and neat, and just the right size for the two of us! Any questions we had were answered promptly and fully. There is so much to do in San Diego and OB: We visited the Zoo, road tripped to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, walked the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge and the Quince Street trestle bridge, and spent a day at Balboa Park. Closer to the Hobbit Home, we ate at OB Warehouse, Raglan Public House, Ocean Beach Peoples's Organic Food Market and Little Lion. We also enjoyed the OB Pier, the tidepools, the sun, the surf, OB Holiday Parade, and the people watching! Kristy's Beachway Hobbit Home was close enough to the city center, and so close to the beach that our stay was "just right".

This was the perfect beach getaway - just what we were looking for! Both the bay and ocean beaches were closer than we imagined and we had such a great time playing in the surf. The boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, and cruiser bikes made our stay so much fun. The space itself is perfect for two people, and very comfortable for relaxing in. We bought some groceries at Ralph's and enjoyed coffee and breakfast in the apartment every morning before setting off for adventures. The parking space is key in this neighborhood!

This place was absolutely perfect! Couldn't have asked for a better location with it being so close to the beach and the bikes that came along with the rental made it easy to get around. The accommodations are exactly as described and we had a great time!

Beautiful studio in great location! Conveniently close to many places. A short walk to bay and beach. Loved the paddle boards, bikes, beach supplies and having a washer and dryer. Rob and Laura were quick to answer any questions. First trip to San Diego and loved staying at Zen Studio!

excellent host. very accommodating and the place was exactly as described. just far enough from the craziness of mission beach but close enough to be within walking distance to everything. didn't get the pleasure of meeting Laura and Rob because we never had a need to reach out to them. thanks again for allowing us to do 2 days instead of the normal 3 nights minimum.

My husband and I were looking for a tropical beach getaway without having to leave the states and we got exactly that experience at Laura and Rob's Zen Studio. The studio was exactly as described. During our stay we had complete privacy. We loved using the bikes to visit the beach just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is nice and quiet; the Mission Beach location is a short car ride away from Downtown, the Gaslamp, or Balboa Park, which made for less local traffic/noise without a long drive or sitting in any freeway traffic. Having access to cooking supplies allowed us to try local fresh food offerings and save money. I would absolutely recommend this studio to anyone looking to stay in San Diego.

This home is even more beautiful in person! It's so conveniently close to everything you could need, and a lovely beach only feet away! A perfect relaxing getaway home.

I have stayed in Mission Bay/PB area a few times and this location is perfect! The place was clean, easy to access, AC worked great, beach cruisers were key, and bed and couch were comfy for sleep and relaxing in the evening. Would definitely stay again.

Cute studio with very comfortable couch and relaxing decor. We didn't cook in the kitchen but it had what we needed for a short anniversary weekend. Laura responded quickly by email with all my questions :) Beach cruisers were a plus, we used them every day to get coffee from Bird Rock Roasters! Location is great! Would recommend this location and would love to return in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chuck and Yvonne's place, who are both incredibly considerate and accommodating hosts. The apartment is very well equipped, with a great attention to detail that made us feel at home straight away. The location is excellent - the apartment is on a quiet road and has a fantastic canyon vista, but it is still close to the many excellent cafes and restaurants in Hillcrest. We would definitely want to stay again when back in San Diego!

You are greeted to a bottle of wine and a nice note from your hosts but to be honest that's just the icing on what is a very lovely cake (room). The room is well sized and clean. Access to Laundry was a very nice plus while we were there as well. My biggest complaint is that we couldn't stay longer because not only is San Diego such a beautiful city but this BNB is also a very nicely equipped little get away. The communication by the hosts and their accommodating style was as refreshing as the sunny weather of California. if you stay here you most certainly will not be disappointed.

11 out of 10, off the scale! This is what AirBnB is all about. Yvonne and Chuck, kindred travelers themselves, are ideal hosts offering a warm genuine welcome and an excellent stay. They are immediate friends. It's probably in the best location to stay in San Diego, just off Washington Ave., which leads to everywhere. The restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood are among the best in the city. As for the room, the pictures tell it all, such a beautiful tranquil setting. Awesome hosts, awesome place, excellent location. Thank you, hope to be back soon!

This place is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many little extras that they leave around for their guests that I was blown away! They are truly exceptional hosts. Their place is a short walk to Starbucks and a supermarket and only a mile from Pure Press Juicery, which I visited twice! I would definitely stay here again and hope to get a chance to!

The Roost is was the best AirBnB experience we have ever had! The little details and personal touches made their place feel welcoming and inviting. Chuck and Yvonne are incredibly friendly hosts and extremely accommodating. The location was perfect. We highly recommend a stay with Chuck and Yvonne. The Roost is a gem!

The studio was exactly as pictured. Nice outdoor area, great location, and easy to communicate with our hosts.

We loved our stay at Chuck and Yvonne's.... The studio was absolutely perfect for our visit.. and the walk down the street to all things added to the perfection... Waking up to the chickens was delightful... would highly recommend staying here... HIGHLY.. and the bed is super comfortable.

This one bedroom suite was amazing and exactly what my wife and I wanted for our San Diego getaway. It was private and cozy, beautifully decorated and made great use of the small space. Chuck & Yvonne communicated wonderfully and made us feel welcome. There were fresh eggs from the chickens out back and plenty of coffee for us. We regret we didn't get to spend more time with our gracious hosts! I highly recommend this space!

Steve's place is an amazing find in LA. If you are after a quiet and chic place to stay in LA that gives you great links to all attractions then you should definitely choose this! Steve is a lovely host and he even helped us find our way to his house when our Uber dropped us off on the wrong street. The space itself is big enough for two people to move around comfortably and has everything you could need - from a kitchen and coffee machine to (amazing smelling) toiletries. The decor is also amazing which is a nice little bonus! All major attractions are really close by if you use public transport. It only took us about 5 mins to get to most bus stations in Larchmont which take you straight to anywhere you want to go. We also took Ubers at night from central LA and it never cost more than $8. All in all it's amazing value for money and an amazing alternative to hotels in LA.

Steve was great, and so is this guest house! It's very cozy and charming, and the property is just as well manicured as the photos show. The neighborhood is super cute and I can't think of a single thing I'd change about my visit. Muchos gracias!!

Must book if you coming to L.A.

Very nice place to relax and to enjoy time in LA! Steve is a very well organized and nice host. We are happy to recommend this plays. Lukasz & Miron

Wonderful stay in a great location! Steve has a beautiful home with plenty of privacy - the perfect getaway.

5 stars! Fantastic.

Steve was great in response to letting us in slightly earlier than check-in as our plans changed. Quiet neighborhood, parking was easy just stay back from the intersection, we saw two near miss accidents as people did not stop at the stop sign so best to be parked further back. Amenities such as towels and soaps were plentiful. Bed perfect for our stay.

We super appreciated how organized Steve was with the directions upon arrival. The pool house is charming and I just loved all the design & architecture books on hand to read. Steve's personal recommendations for restaurants and activities are spot on (great taste!) and the location is fantastic. Beautiful area with everything you need within walking distance. If you're into spin and yoga - there are fab studios right up the street. The suite is tiny as Steve points out in his description, so you must like being super close with your mate if you bring one;) Perfect for a solo getaway.

Rachel was a great host. Her place was clean and sunny. It's within walking distance to the harbor, train station, lots of restaurants, etc. 10 minutes ride from/to the airport which cost less than $10 using Uber. We also had a great pleasure of meetin Rachel's mom, Shelley, who was also super nice.

Rachel's place was really lovely, finished with beautiful furnishings. Rachel's communication was great and it was a bonus to have access to Wi-Fi. The only downside was the late night / early morning street noise! This comes with being in a central location though!! Thanks Rachel! :-)

Rachel was a great host and the location was amazing! Would definitely stay here again!

This Airbnb is incredibly adorable and in a great location in Little Italy—I didn't want to leave! The home furnishings are well curated and Rachel provided many essential amenities, which meant that I could pack less and buy more things. It's super close to public transportation, which means easy access to most of San Diego's hot spots. There are also plenty of things to do and Italian food to try out nearby. Harbor Breakfast is right next to the apartment, so stop in for a quick bite and a cup of Stumptown Coffee. If music is your thing, Harbor Music will fill that empty void. A lot of great local bands play at the dinner venue and you can enjoy it from the apartment. I'm excited to plan my next trip to San Diego and will definitely stay at Rachel's AirBnb again!

Rachel has a beautiful place and we had a lovely time staying here. Great area with beautiful food and a lively atmosphere. We did have some troubles with the TV and cable, which meant we could not turn the TV on. We emailed Rachel regarding this matter and we did not receive any response whilst staying at her place. All in all, we did have a pleasant stay, although it would have been great if we got a response from Rachel.

Great apartment in a great location! Wonderful food options all around the apartment also. I would recommend this apartment to friends and family.

Rachel did an amazing job. She put care in to the little details of hospitality and made the space have it's own charm with the handmade art. Just wonderful; when we stay in SD again we will definitely be booking with her! The neighborhood is just the right blend of hustle and calm with really good restaurants and easy walking distance to most major attractions within the area, without the noise and crowded feeling of being right downtown. I'm very satisfied with everything I got out of my trip; great job!!

Yes, they meet us and even we arrived much earlier- let us to leave our luggage and let us fell welcome and warm. Really appreciated it. Love the host. Next year will stay at the same place, when e come back to San Diego.

Sam's place is great! You're bed and bath are super close to the front door so easy to get in and out and the view is incredible! There is also a high tech toilet right out of the jetsons! Highly recommend!

Place is wonderful the room is fantastic and the place is in walking distance to all the great restaurants in little Italy

Convenient and comfortable

Sam was a lovely host. This space is probably better suited for a single person in that there is limited space to hang out. The deck was great but we waited until Sam was at work to enjoy it, as it involves going through his living space. You can't beat the location. We never needed to get in our car. This spot is perfect for a business trip when you are up and out and only need the basics.

Great location and nice views. Sam was such a great host. Highly recommend!

-I enjoyed staying with Sam. Nice guy, great location. I enjoyed his cats.

Wonderful place! The host was so kind and helpful with my check in. Amazing location, very clean, killer view, secure building, especially if you're traveling alone. Also the two cats who stay home are amazing! I love them! Defiantly will be staying again when I visit San Diego! Thanks again Sam!!

Perfect location near outstanding amenities. Easy trolley ride to the convention center. Streamlined check in process. Pristine room. Lovely views of the harbor.

I am a city planner and wanted to explore the Silver Lake-Echo Park neighborhoods. Chris's spacious studio provided the perfect home base. He is knowledgeable and friendly and the location is perfect: very quiet and relaxing while immediately accessible to the local establishments. The private patio was where I spent most of my time reading and planning my outings. The kitchen is well equipped, too. I checked out quite a few places before selecting Chris's and was delighted with my choice.

Incredible space, very close walking distance to Silverlake district. The room is very private, feels like your own studio with kitchenette and best, your own private patio. Never met host the entire time, but was very responsive to my texts and was a great host. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Chris was a great host, communicated promptly and showed us place when we arrived and even supplied some basics for us in the kitchen. The place was just as described - clean, comfy, spacious. It was nice to just open the doors and have an indoor/outdoor living experience with the patio (which also came with birds singing all the time). Very relaxing and great get away in metro LA area.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment dans le bungalow de Chris. Accueil chaleureux, l'appartement est superbe, jolie déco, vaste terrasse et très bien équipé, un écrin de verdure à Los Angeles! Le quartier est très sympa, plein de petits restos, bar et boutiques cool. Je recommande vivement!

Chris is a great host and his place is simply gorgeous: super clean, great design, very very comfortable. It's my second time here and I know that every time I need a place in Los Angeles Chris will always be my first choice!

Chris's place is impeccable and extremely close to Downtown LA and Hollywood. Excellent choice of restaurants walking distance but still a very quite place to stay and sleep. Even got bird songs in the morning, not many LA area can offer all of that. To top it all, Chris is an excellent host that know how to welcome its guests while staying discreet. I will make The big bungalow my favorite spot in LA for the future.

I love the big bungalow, and I can understand how Chris and Co. earned that Superhost rating. The listing was true to photos, and both Chris and Frank were pleasantly helpful whether they helped navigate me towards East Hollywood, or coming down to let me in when I locked myself out like...three minutes into the stay. The Santa Anas were kicking strong when I arrived, but it didn't deter me from hanging out in the spacious and comfortable patio area (I definitely want to come back and put that grill to use on a sunny day) when I wasn't out in the world. My one piece of important advice is to make sure to read the guide posted in-house; I had two minor issues during my stay, and both would've never happened if I'd taken the 60 seconds to read over that piece of paper. That said, between the location, hosts, and property, I'll definitely be back.

Great spot!

We loved this apartment! It was sunny, the decor was great and the location is hard to beat. We wanted to escape the cold weather and we had a lovely 5 days of 70's & 80's. Enjoyed the neighborhood and ability to walk to everything! You do have to be willing to walk up the steep stairs and hope for a parking place within a few blocks, but overall that was minor.

Absolutely loved staying here with my husband for our mini-moon! The cottage is gorgeous and just steps to the beach. We used the BBQ on the patio one night for dinner which was perfect! Only complaints were the lack of lighting in the home, no Air conditioning and the fact that we had to leave! Steve was very attentive and replied quickly to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Steve was very attentive regarding communication. Nice place in a killer location with an ocean view.

Great place and awesome neighborhood. Walking distance to everything!

Steve was really helpful in communication before we arrived sending pictures of what to look for and he was really flexible with our arrival time as we were dealing with delayed flights. When the TV broke during our second night, it was replaced within a few hours with a new one! The apartment really lets you feel like a local in a trendy and highly desireable area. While you can't park at the apartment, we found that we could always find a spot on Pacific Beach Dr. (one major street to the North) leaving us with a few block walk, but no wasted time looping around looking for closer parking. The bedroom and bathroom are a bit tight but you stay here for the deck with the ocean view and the 1 block walk to the sand! Overall, a very reliable host!

Cute little place steps from the ocean in pacific beach. The balcony is nice to catch some rays and relax! If you're looking for a getaway for a few days close to the beach, this is it. Unfortunately the communication wasn't really existent. We were able to check in but no host help regarding the city or neighborhood (first time to San Diego) But if you're not looking for that "welcome to my home" feeling, then no problem! Lots of privacy! There was complimentary coffee, that was nice!

Great place to stay in San Diego. 30 seconds from the beach and 2 mins walk from the main area of Pacific Beach. Steve was very accommodating and had no problem arranging an alternative check in time that suited us. We had everything we needed in the apartment including lots of extra's such as a BBQ and beach deck chairs. Thanks to Steve for such a great apartment

My stay at Steve's cottage was great. Very conveniently located: practically right on Pacific Beach and a nice tranquil beach walk to Mission Beach. It's also near a great taco stand: so, you know, you can have the full San Diego experience. I didn't meet Steve at all. The check-in and check-out process was done via text messaging. It was mostly pretty seamless.

Jerry's place was perfect for us ( a couple). Great views, yet private. This location was good for the activities we chose in LA. Not too difficult to get downtown - with a car. We did not try public transit, so I cannot comment. The neighborhood was quiet and Jerry and Chui were welcoming hosts. Parking was not a problem.

Very comfortable accommodations and a beautiful view of the Eagle Rock area! Ideal location for Occidental College visitors and parents!!

I love this guesthouse! It was the perfect ending to our California vacation. Jerry and Chiu decorated their space with such thoughtfulness. We had an awesome selection of books, relaxation cd's, thick white towels in the bathroom, and a nice loaf of bread from Trader Joe's along with jams and peanut butter in the fridge. When you combine the gracious touches with the lovely décor and views, you have a relaxing retreat in the hills. We especially loved to sit on the deck with a glass of wine and read. Thanks, Jerry and Chiu, for making our stay so fabulous!

This was our first experience with airbnb.com and we were hoping that this would be all it was said to be. All my wife and I can say is that Jerrys' place was fantastic!! It was just as, if not better than stated. Beautiful view, comfortable, quiet, and a great deal. Jerry was a great host and even had the place stocked with some goodies that we really appreciated like coffee, bagels, fruit, candy, OJ, and more. The pool was an additional perk that we loved using. This place is in a great location and was within a half hour drive to many of the places we wanted to go to like Griffith Park, Forest Lawn, the Rose Bowl, LAX, Beaches, Hollywood, and The Getty Museum. Just want to say Thank You Jerry. We hope you will have an opening the next time we visit LA.

Jerry's place is great and the view from the studio is fantastic. The hosts are super friendly and helpful.

Great view from the deck - enjoyed eating breakfast and one dinner outside. Excellent decor, comfortable bed and nice bath and kitchen facilities. While travel anywhere in LA isn't easy there was a good Mexican restaurant (CaCao Mexicatessen) and a Trader Joe's within a 5 minute drive from Jerry's. Also close by are The Huntington Gardens , Museum and Library (about 15 minutes away in San Marino) - a must see.

Another wonderful stay... second time for me. Wonderful location, quiet/peaceful, comfortable apartment, luxurious towels, important kitchen items to get started before market, easy parking on the street, delightful hosts... who could ask for more!

We absolutely loved staying at Jerry's place for four days! The room itself is decorated so nicely and the set up is perfect! We loved having such a comfortable place to unwind after a long day at Disneyland and six flags. Jerry provided us with snacks, some water and some other goodies for us to enjoy too! The wifi worked great and we enjoyed the TV to watch some shows before heading to bed. Having the coffee maker was perfect too! Also the heater was amazing because it blew hot air instantly! The water for the shower and bathroom was hot instantly, so be careful... Haha! Jerry texted us immediately and was helpful with any questions. We definitely will be back next time! Appreciated everything!

The house is just one minute from the ocean and Michele was very friendly and flexible with the check in and check out! Thanks again, hope to visit u again!

Michelle's home is great. Spanish style w lovely patio and just a short walk to Venice beach. Also just a 7 min walk to Abbott Kinney Rd for many shops and restaurants. The bedroom is cute and colourful as in the pics and the bed was great. There is also a full kitchen available and wash machine. Michelle is very friendly and helpful and communication was prompt I certainly recommend this home.

Everything went great and as planned, thank you Michele!

Nice, small, cosy place in Venice, very close to the Beach, Gold's Gym, etc. There was even a bicycle I was able to use to get around the area in the evening, which was a happy bonus - that's something you'd never find in a hotel!

Michele was so kind and generous both in her space and in her spirit. She was so welcoming and respectful of my privacy, and yet she was able to sense if I wanted to ask her questions about the neighborhood and needed guidance about what to see and do in Venice. She has a wealth of information about Venice and is equally rich in her willingness to share what she knows.

Michelle and her place were great! Perfect location for a weekend on Venice beach.

Michele was quick to offer any help or suggestions about the area, without imposing on me. She's a cheerful and friendly person who makes you feel comfortable sharing her apartment.

I loved Michelle's place. It was super central pretty much right on Venice beach but quiet. The bike was great and I rode it to Santa Monica and back. Michelle was also very chilled out and relaxed and a great host ... I had lots of privacy but also help when I needed it. Michelle really helped me out with bring flexible with check in and check out times because of my silly schedule. If a location around the beaches of LA with a great host is what you are after, this is it! Thanks so much for a great stay :)

For my first Air BnB booking, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. John was extremely responsive and was an excellent host. I arrived earlier than the check-in time and was able to leave my luggage in a secure area inside the apt building. Additionally, the loft was in the PERFECT location for exploring Venice and the surrounding areas. It was the ideal rental for a solo traveller like myself. The loft was small, but nicely equipped and decorated. Wonderful experience! Thanks, John!

We hebben zeer genoten van John's huisje. Het was van alle gemakken voorzien, complimentaire douchegel & shampoo. En zelfs de benodigdheden voor een ontbijtje. Waarbij dingen als koffie, thee, suiker en melk al reeds beschikbaar waren. Ook de badhanddoeken en lakens waren netjes en schoon. Ik stond erg versteld van de inhoud van de keuken, er was ook een kookplaatje beschikbaar met 1 pan en een koekenpan en genoeg om een salade mee te maken. Kortom we hadden een fijn verblijf. Ook zijn er genoeg parkeermogelijkheden in de buurt.

We had a great time in Venice Beach at John's House. He organized everything for us and helped us, if we needed something. The loft was perfect for two travel-girls :D.. We miss the beach and the nice atmosphere there. Maybe one day we'll come again.. Thank you John :)

John's cute little apartment was absolutely ideal for us. Being so close to both Venice beach and Abbot Kinney was perfect, as was having our own front door. Communication was really easy, the check in and out procedure was effortless, and the addition of being able to use the bikes was just the icing on the cake.

John was a wonderful host! Loft is so close to Venice beach and all the street performers. Parking was a bit of a pain but there's nothing john can do about that - just requires a bit of patience :)

Great experience. Nice place in and excellent location. John was very responsive and everything was easy and ready to go.

John was a great host. He gave us all the information we needed and thanks to his "guide-book" we found a nice place to have dinner. The appartment is as lovely as shown on the pictures. The bed is big enough for two (even if you´re not a couple) and the whole place is really charming and clean. We had a great time and would love to stay longer!! The appartment is in a quiet neighborhood (during the night) just some steps away from the beach and reachable with public transport. We came from LA Downtown by taking the metro to Culver City and than the bus 733 (all together it takes around 90 min). The bus stop is just 5 min walk away (I think it was at the intersection Main Street/Grand boulevard). To go back to the airport we needed around 60 min with the bus. Obviously by car you will probably be faster... We were two girls and felt quite safe. ----------- sehr sehr hübsche Wohnung mit Charme, meiner Meinung nach super gelegen. Kann man ganz unbesorgt buchen. Der Strand ist nah genug um sofort dort zu sein und weit genug weg, um abends davon (und von dem entsprechenden Klientel) nichts mitzubekommen. Buchen!!

Johns Venice loft was the perfect place for the end of my Californian road trip. A few blocks back from the beach, really close to many great bars and restaurants and a short cab from LAX. After many weeks driving around California it was a dream to be able to walk around and take in the city. The flat itself was very well designed and perfectly kept, with unexpected and welcome amenities. Wish I has been staying longer, and will certainly book again if I'm back in town.

Sehr sauber, super freundliche Gastgeber, gute Anbindung für Autofahrer, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Everything was great! Awesome space, cute design, great central location!

Wow, what a gorgeous find! Carolyn's home was accurate to the pictures and description, and so cleanly kept! The bathroom was brand new, the sheets were clean and comfortable, and the whole experience just felt like home. The room was so easy to get to, centrally located in LA, and parking was easy to find in the neighborhood. We came for RuPaul's Drag Con, and the convention center was a breeze to get to, even with morning traffic! We would definitely come back to Carolyn's place in the future :D.

It was a very nice stay in that cozy home! The best was the kitchen with all you need to cook a smal plate :) We slept very good :)

Carolyn is an excellent host. Very nice, quiet and secure nest in a great location. Comfortable beds. Stayed here during a conference at the convention center. Worked out wonderfully.

The property is beautifully presented and lovely touches with books on the area, games and TV and entertainment options, shampoo/conditioner, coffee machine. The property is easy to park outside and easy drive to universal, warner bros, Hollywood sign etc there isn't however a lot in walking distance from the property. The property was in the hosts back garden and a nice space to sit out in the sunshine. It was pretty quiet area, although there is a flat above it so we did hear some footsteps. We had a really relaxing stay in the property. A lesson we did learn though was take Ubers to/from the centre unless you want a big taxi fee and also park in the same direction as the traffic as the traffic cops are out at 6am issuing $65 fees oops! We did however really enjoy our stay and would recommend this property.

Adoramos o studio da Carolyn! Chegamos antes do horário do check in e prontamente nos atenderam para deixarmos nossas malas e irmos passear. O lugar é bem novinho, aconchegante e super bem localizado. Estávamos a 8-12 milhas das principais atrações de Los Angeles, inclusive do aeroporto. Na hora de ir ao aeroporto vimos como essa localização foi importante. Às 6 da manhã o trânsito já estava muito intenso!! O estacionamento é na rua, mas é super tranquilo e seguro estacionar lá. Carolyn é uma super anfitriã e sempre atendeu nossas solicitações, nos ajudou e até se dispôs a receber uma encomenda. Recomendamos este lugar pra quem vier a LA e ficaríamos novamente se voltássemos a LA. Thank you Carolyn and Mike

Carolyn was an amazing host to my mom and I during our stay, she even offered to give us a ride to the supermarket and let us borrow a beach chair without hesitation. We hope to come back again, the place is beautiful and very secure!

We had such wonderful days at your house, every morning we took a cup of Coffee and took a walk att Venice Beach. Our 14 year old she loved it! Great location for staying in LA! Hope to return back some day! Katarina

very good communication. the unit is what you see in photos but on a "quainter" side. I like quaint things don't get me wrong but they should work well -(: so here's the list of minor "wrong" things -the rod of the shower curtain is rusty. we'd not care if my husband did not dry his damp T-shirt on it!! got rust stains -the bottom lock of the back door does not work well. after unlocking it, we still could not turn it...so panick on board! it was midnight and we'd be reluctant to call Janin that late! fortunately, the same key opened the front door too (we guessed right) -we were told our parking space was marked A. but one night we found it occupied. we had to park behind the impostor's car then wrote him a note, then move the car later when the impostor showed up! -2 light-bubs were dead or missing (one at the bed side table-Left when you enter the room, the other one on top of the chest in living-room) -when i first entered the unit (the next day after my husband's arrival) the smell was of quaint old place. although the place was clean (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) there's dust on blinds, on window sills, on pendant light (i'm sorry, it's a glass pendant, so the dust did bother me) otherwise, we loved the location, the unit, the decor, the sofa-bed in the living room for lounging-note that some curtain hooks got loose) did i say minor problems? yes i'd come back and hope to get those things fixed. Thanks ladies!

Lovely Place, Great location, super clean and Tiffany & Janin were extremely accommodating and super responsive. The place was also much larger than I had anticipating - which is a good thing. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and it met our needs perfectly. Location wise, it is about a 1 minute walk to the beach, officially on Venice Beach but also not too far to Santa Monica beach. The property has two bikes and we used these to cycle up to Santa Monica pier, with a mass of cyclist, runners and skateboarders while watching people playing beach volleyball or just chilling. Really good fun. The property is well located for LAX airport and also for visiting places such and Universal Studios, Beverley Hills and Hollywood, all taking us about 30-45 minute by car. The property has a handy parking space at the rear. Inside, there is one good sized double bedroom. The large living area is made up of a dining area, living room, and large alcove at the front with a large single bed and another single bed underneath which pulls out. This alcove can be screened off from the living room for privacy but doesn't offer any sound protection. However, these two beds were perfect for our children (13 and 9). The morning light pours into the alcove so if your sleep is affected by light then best to have an eye mask handy (we always take them travelling). The furniture and upkeep are good, plus there are many utensils in the well-equipped kitchen. The interior feels homely and comfortable - perfect to relax in after a day out. Correspondence with the property owners was excellent before and during our stay. They were always quick to respond. And when we had a minor issue with the bathroom sink, the owners' response and resolution was perfect. So in summary, and based on our experience, I can highly rate this property. We were genuinely sad to have to leave after 4 days and would stay here again when visiting LA.

Lovely quiet spot in a good spot in Venice

Thank you to Tiffany and Janin for a lovely stay at their Airbnb... a stones throw from the beach. And it really was. What a great location and great house. We felt very at home there. It was perfect for 3/4 people with everything we needed. They very kindly organised us 3 bikes for the week and when we needed anything they popped right over to help. The only one small thing is that if there is anyone staying upstairs, it can be quite noisy on the wooden floorboards. So if you're a light sleeper it might not be ideal to stay in this wonderful homely property with all it's original features. But other than that, I can't complain. I had a great week there. Thanks muchly!

We had a fantastic time in this house and loved the proximity to the ocean and the ability to enjoy the quiet front porch and yard. We were traveling with our 1 year old daughter and mother-in-law and we all fit very comfortably. Being on a walk street was very quiet and peaceful. Tiffany and Janin were fantastic hosts and I would recommend this location highly.

This was probably my favorite AirBnB experience ever. The place was really beautiful, quite larger than I expected, very nicely furnished, and the location was incredible. You walk out the front door and you can see the beach. It's 2 blocks from Crossfit Paradiso, a short walk to the Rose Cafe, and a short drive to Whole Foods. Tiffany was great, she met me there right when we arranged, and the entire stay went off without a hitch. I'd be thrilled to stay there again and I'll tell my friends about it, too.

It was great experience

临近海滩,可以坐在凉台上呼吸海的味道……

If your looking for a quaite and relaxing vacation that is the place for you. The condo is truly beautiful and watching the sunset was the best part of our Valentine's day there. Unfortunately we didn't meet with Lena, but her son was a great host, gave us a quick walk thru the apartment and told us about the local places and activities to see and do. If you love surfing and running that is a great place for you vacation.

Beautiful home in an amazing location. The home is beach front with a small balcony that opens up to the ocean. Step down through the beach side entrance and you are literally 4 feet away from the sand. Plus, you are within walking distance to the Venice pier and a large selection of restaurants and bars. Lena was also extremely flexible with picking up the keys and check out. Thanks so much!!

SO great place to stay in Los Angeles! Just on a beach, 5 mins walk to Venice beach. Very clean and calm, highly recommended for everyone, ideal for 4 guests.

Great place in a great location. Logistics were very easy. Beautiful becah view. I'm glad I stayed here and would do it again.

FABULOUS. This Condo IS absolutely awesome. The view, the location, rooms, kitchen. All perfect! That was my 1st experience of airbnb, can't wait to come back !!! Thanks Lena!!

You need to read the experience from the Aussie guy in April 2014. He is absolutely right! The house is the oldest in the front row of the beautiful beach. The view and the location is awesome. But to be honest that's about it. As we arrived here Lena wasn't here. Her son showed us around. We were told the house was professionally cleaned. Well but it wasn't. All the good looking mirrors and tables, the kitchen and the bathrooms were greasy. The bathtub was full of different hairs. The kitchen appliances were not cleaned, the coffee makers were moldy and the fridge was full of old food. The TV is a mess too. If you want to regulate the sound you need to do that at the TV. The remote is broken. We immediately texted Lena and she offered us to send a cleaning lady or to give us a refund. We choose the refund. But then she wouldn't do it. So she sent a cleaning lady the other day. But still the place was NOT clean at all. We would have been ok with it if she wouldn't call her place a luxury condo at the beach and if it would be much cheaper. There is even no air condition. After we arrived the neighbor showed up and asked us not to use the fan. It makes to much sound. Well I could go on but I don't want to. Of you still choose this place just bring your own cleaning stuff and buy plastic dishes.

Andrew was very welcoming and made me feel very comfortable to go about my trip as I pleased. The accommodations were clean, organized and beyond my expectations. Andrew was a friendly person who had great suggestions of places to visit around the area and affordable ways to get around since I did not have a car. I felt right at home in his space and very welcome.

Andrew was super welcoming. He offered to park my car for me, offered for us to borrow his surf boards and even gave us a few treats!

Andrew was the perfect host. He made us feel so welcome. The room was immaculate. The place was ideal for the beach. We could hear the ocean every night whilst we slept with the windows open. We didn't need a car to get around Manhattan and renting bikes from Hermosa beach we could go anywhere. We always felt safe in this beautiful town. I would certainly recommend Andrew for anyone traveling to the LA area.

Andrew's place is very cozy in a great location. The beach is gorgeous and the neighborhood is very safe. Andrew as a host was very hospitable, made us feel like home and accomodate to all of our needs! We would totally recommend staying at his place!

My first shared property and I'm pretty sure Andrew spoiled me. Truly felt comfortable immediately like staying over at a good friends house. (except my friends wouldn't have laid out water/nuts/berries/wine in my room for my arrival). The location can't be beat - steps away from the beach, bars, and restaurants. Ocean view from the balcony which is a great place to decompress after the flight. Thanks Andrew for a wonderful stay - I hope to be back soon!

Andrew and his girlfriend Sara were amazing hosts. They went out of their way during my entire trip to make me feel welcome, and share the exciting things going on in their community. It was truly a pleasure not just staying at his wonderful apartment, but meeting such nice folks. Ocean views and perfect location (right down the street from all that Manhattan Beach has to offer), I highly recommend!!!

Ideal location and a wonderful host

Had a yet another great experience at Andrews place in MB. Thanks for being an awesome host. I shall return!
