Cozy Pool House in Los Angeles.
We enjoyed our stay. The space was very clean and comfortable. The backyard is beautiful! The white noise machines were a must use. There was also clear communication between us and the hosts. Really appreciated our stay.

Poolside Guesthouse!
Comfortable room with wonderful swimming pool. Maggie is well organized and communicated well.

PRIVATE POOL HOME, Walk & Hop to DISNEY, GAMEROOM
This home is in such a cute neighborhood. it's an older home that has been fixed up and is very charming. We chose not to pay for the pool to be heated, because we were just staying for a few nights and planned to spend most of our time in disneyland...as a result the pool was cold! It was February, so that is not a complaint, our son got out as quick as he got in it. The beds were firm, and everything was very clean. The showers had good water pressure and the plumbing all worked as it should. The driveway was plenty big to park two of our cars, it could have fit a third car if needed. The kitchen had good pans to cook our breakfast, and also was very clean. We did a test walk over to the parks when we first checked in, just to make sure we wouldn't get lost early the next day. It is exactly 1.5 miles to the entrance of either Disneyland or California Adventure. Great place to stay, I would book again next time we're going to Disneyland. Thank you Susy!

Walk to DLand! Modern Pool Home w/ Opt Pool Heater
This is a lovely house at a very convenient yet quite location, under LA weather the pool is fantastic for a relaxing journey.

Albers Estate-Lavish SaltWater Pool
Johnny's home is a beautiful retreat in a quiet residential neighborhood. The backyard with pool and hottub is a perfect place to gather with friends and family at the end of the day. Johnny is a wonderful communicator he was always available for us, he got back to us very quickly. I would highly recommend this home. We would stay here again.

Los Angeles Private Vacation Pool Estate near CSUN
Wonderful spot in a relatively private environment for the area. Very clean, very spacious

Honeymoon House in Hollywood Hills
When in LA, choose the Cho Family’s place to stay!

Stunning 5* Beverly Hills remodeled +pool. Safe!
We had a great time at Deborah's. She was very responsive if we had any questions. The place was immaculate when we arrived. We were a short drive to the ocean and universal studios, which were our main attractions visiting the area. Overall great experience!

Elsa's Enchanting Escape 8 mins 2 Disney &ConvCtr
Great house in an established neighborhood close to Disneyland. There were 5 adults and 3 children staying at the house and it was very comfortable! We only had breakfast at the house and spent our days at Disneyland so can't comment on the barbecue or hottub since we didn't get to enjoy the outside area. Would highly recommend staying here if you are going to Disneyland; it's in great proximity to the parks. John and Candy were very responsive when we contacted them regarding an issue with one of the showers.

Keeping It Beachy
AMAZING! AMAZING! Did I mention it was amazing? I just can’t say enough about my visit. I have had a slew of not so good Air BNB’s as of late. Ones that didn’t match descriptions, no basics like coffee, laundry but being your own tide pods, and like a 5 page checkout….NOT here…it was perfect. Coffee, creamer, great bed, beautiful bathroom and that was the fanciest potty I have ever used….thank you Tori! I am super bummed my work won’t be bringing me back but if I come to visit on my own you’ll be hearing from me again. Thank you so much for renewing my faith in good air bnb’s!

Beautiful Guest House walk to beach, private park
Really cute place. It’s not big, but it’s laid out very functionally and makes great use of the space. Clean, comfortable, and we never felt unsafe. Walkable to the Redondo pier as well as the Hollywood Riviera. Lots to do and see and so many restaurant choices. Five stars in my book!

Cozy home near Disney, Knotts, and Beaches
I really enjoyed staying at this Airbnb. They let me drop off my luggage as they were cleaning it. It was a very nice Airbnb and it had everything we needed as I was coming from another state. It worked out perfectly for us and I especially enjoyed all the parking. Thanks so much for all you do.

2-Bedroom 1-Bathroom Guesthouse
Every thing was good and perfect. We enjoyed and sure we came back again because we had best time there.

Venice Beach Quiet Escape
We felt very safe in the residence and Randy was so accommodating in helping us whenever we needed it. The motion sensor lights outside were helpful after late night returns and carrying our 14 month old inside. The air bnb is conveniently close to many restaurants and a Whole Foods. We were in walking distance to the beach . Randy had some amazing suggestions on where to grab coffee and delicious food from. Everything inside the air bnb felt clean and easy to use. Randy provided some snacks and libations for us, which after long travel days with a baby it was very appreciated. The common area of the air bnb is so welcoming, we wish we were able to use it more. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! It was a lovely home away from home .

Treasure In The Hills
Cynthia and Ryan's place was an amazing stay. Windsor Hills/View Park is such a beautiful and peaceful neighborhood to walk around in especially while enjoying the sun. The house felt like home for the entirety of my being there. It was everything I could've asked for and more, and I truly enjoyed making dinner in the kitchen, the birds visiting the side patio, and the sunlit living room for reading my book. I feel rejuvenated and joyful leaving here, and I would definitely stay there again. Thank you Cynthia and Ryan for being great hosts, and sharing your home with me.

Family-Friendly Private Guesthouse
Cara’s home was a wonderful respite for a week and a half while we remodeled our house and were in transition. We are a small family with three year old child and he was absolutely thrilled everyday to be at home playing with toys and exploring all of the games that Cara and her family kept. We especially appreciated the children’s dinner table set and all of the amenities were as described, in excellent condition, and we really enjoyed our time. The proximity to the park was also an incredible bonus as parents, and it is safe and serene. We are so so grateful for this listing and for Cara and her family’s hospitality.

Charming Suite One Mile from Beach
Darlene was a truly fantastic host, striking the perfect balance between giving space and being very responsive and friendly. The neighborhood was beautiful and walkable, the space was well curated, comfortable, clean, and super relaxing. I will absolutely be a return guest!

Large, Private Home in the Heart of Venice
Hollie was amazing and we had a wonderful stay. Big thanks for the early check in and quick and thoughtful communication. Location was perfect and it felt very safe.

Walk to Sandy Beaches from a Blissful Home
An absolutely beautiful home in a fantastic location. We stayed a week with our family of four at Kate's AirBnB. It was walkable to a lagoon beach, a playground, and restaurants. Parking was very easy. There were always plenty of spots on the street for grandpa and grandma to park. Additionally, Kate's home had a garage which made it easy to load/unload the kiddos. On top of that, Kate made it really easy to check-in and out. It was probably the most seamless transition into/out of a house we've had on the app!

Charming Spanish Villa in Prime Location
In dozens of Airbnb stays over more than a decade, Rochelle's place is THE most beautiful house my husband and I have ever stayed in. It is a gorgeous Spanish style home with museum quality artwork and lovely courtyard spaces where we relaxed with our coffee every morning for a week. The tile work in the bathrooms made my jaw drop. The amazing thing though is that the house is as comfortable as it is beautiful; it feels lovingly lived in. It's like you are a privileged guest in someone's home rather than in a vacation rental. The house is also clean and well equipped, including a kitchen with a multitude of appliances and supplies. The central location is stellar. It is 10 min walk to The Grove, the Original Farmer's Market, LACMA, the Museum of Motion Pictures, and restaurants and markets. We also drove to Universal Studios, Grand Central Market, Griffith Park, and Venice Beach in 25 minutes. Rochelle could not have been more gracious and responsive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Sunny Stylish Mid Century Bungalow & Big Backyard
This was a great home base for us. Close to Santa Monica, Venice and Playa Vista. We a really cute bungalow on a quiet street. Would stay here again if we were in the area.

Adorable Naples Island Retreat
House was in a great location, in a perfect neighborhood. Exactly what the family was looking for. Thank you!

NEWLY RENOVATED - 1min to Sand & Sea - Dream Home
This house was perfect for our family of 5. Two teens biked to the boardwalk everyday. Adults enjoyed the walk to Urth cafe. The rooftop area was perfect for sunning and we all enjoyed the pool table. We will definitely be back!

The Little House
This was our second time staying here. Great for families with small children. The pack and play, high chair and toys were perfect for our 4 year old and 9 month old. Valentin was super responsive and we appreciated the delivery of extra towels!
