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.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Askin

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.
