About this property

Spacious FAMILY FRIENDLY home beautifully decorated with African art.

Enjoy a spacious, private family home, in a diverse community with your quiet host (me, Sophia) living next door & ready to answer questions or help as needed. Your family will share our yard. I've decorated with colorful art and crafts from my family's travels on 3 continents & aim to provide the amenities we enjoyed at our favorite places. We often host families with young children and can provide toys, games, pack n play crib, stroller, booster seats and more. And we provide lots of beach supplies. STREET PARKING ONLY.

This 100 year old modernly updated home in a historic residential neighborhood is your family's private space. A modern kitchen to meet the needs of the most demanding cook. Relax on the swings in the sunroom and in spacious living room. You'll share the yard with me, my partner and my brother. We live in other homes on the 1/4 acre property.

In our walkable neighborhood, you are 4 blocks from Retro Row, with quaint shops, a global choice of restaurants and the historic Art Theater.

Street paring only June-August 2023. Rental bicycles and scooters available nearby. Disneyland is about a half hour drive east; Hollywood and Santa Monica 45-75 minutes in the opposite direction. A public bus on the next block will take you to the sometimes-reliable LA Metro System. But our favorite way to get around is on foot.

Other things to note
We love our diverse neighborhood as a welcoming place for visitors of all races, nationalities, gender identities. We STRICTLY forbid smoking of all kinds anywhere on the property. Out of respect for neighbors, we do not allow parties and we ask that guests observe a quiet time from 10pm to 8am.

Great stay!

This property is really well equipped, in fact probably the best equipped we've stayed at! It is thoughtfully and tastefully maintained, and we had a great stay as a family of 4. Steve was very accommodating and always available when we needed anything. We definitely plan to stay again when we visit in the future!

Amazing Experience

My family and I had a great time during our stay. The owner, Steve, was very communicative and helpful, making it a stress-free experience. The home was clean, inviting, and had everything you need for a good stay and then more! The owners were most considerate of guests and we all look forward to another opportunity to stay here again.

Simply Amazing

We stayed at Vision of Africa in July 2023. The owners are extremely kind and very helpful. The house has a great flow (we were 8) and was very well equipped. Lots of very nice attentions with supplies and all the labelling made it easy to find everything. Beds are comfortable and the house is located in a vey nice neighbourhood. I would stay there again!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Askin

Host profile image
We've traveled the world at STRs and love sharing in your home-away-from-home art work we brought home from our latest visit to close friends in southern Africa.

Our decision to host reflects our joy in meeting guests from across the U.S. and around the world, and hosting is part of a family commitment to hospitality.

Our world-traveling daughter and her partner, who live in a separate home on the same large lot, are available to chat if you have questions about local attractions if you wish but will always respect your privacy.

Why they chose this property

Our diverse residential neighborhood is just a mile from the beach and a host of boating opportunities. We are a half mile from Retro Row, where you will find locally owned restaurants offering cuisines from around the world.

We love living in a community which is welcoming to people of all races, nationalities and gender identities.

What makes this property unique

We offer everything we needed traveling with our children when they were young. Snacks & breakfast foods; strollers, Pack-n-play crib, toys & games and more.

Each room is designed with comfort and beauty in mind, drawing on the best of our experiences traveling in Europe, Africa and North America.

Family members living nearby respond quickly to every guest inquiry or request for needed household supplies when that's needed and, at all other times, respect the privacy you will enjoy in your spacious home-away-from-home.

One of our daughters is an experienced babysitter sometimes available to look after guests' children for a reasonable fee.
