    Sunset from the deck.

    We loved our stay at Casa Karmina. We found the owners/hosts very helpful and informative. It is a classic beach house and ocean related weathering is to be expected, everything was clean and well maintained. The view is amazing, the beds were comfortable. There are air conditioning units in the 3 main bedrooms and the sea breeze kept the living area very comfortable. There is a portable fan if needed too. Our family of 6, with 'kids' from 8-21 all had a blast. The youngest spent most time at the beach taking advantage of the available boogie boards and loved the loft bed. The young adults were happy to join and play in the waves for a bit but loved the location as it gave them the independence to go exploring on their own. We walked to lunch and/or dinner several days - there is a wide variety of cuisine available. For the more adventurous there seemed to be a lively bar scene in the evenings at Washington Square which we just observed on our way back 'home.' I loved early morning walks along the boardwalk or the canals. Casa Karmina gave everyone the ability to be as relaxed or adventurous as they wanted and we hope to return!

    The Sanborn Guest House is an excellent place to stay if you're looking to be in the Silver Lake…read morearea or want to be able to access different spots in Los Angeles. My sister and I stayed here for a long weekend -- the bed was comfy, the place was quiet (even with the other unit occupied), the neighborhood felt safe, and the free parking was a huge plus. It's a cozy and refreshing place to stay in after months of being cooped up for shelter-in-place. A lot of restaurants were open nearby for takeout and Erehwon was conveniently a few minutes away. Meeting Gary and Jaime was awesome, my sister and I had some pleasant & socially-distanced conversations with them. They were attentive, kind, and lovely hosts :-) COVID-19-related note: the kitchen / entrance area is shared with folks that are staying in the other unit. We felt safe enough to be in that room with masks on and to eat a meal, but know this if this is something you're concerned about. Absolutely stay here if you're considering it!

    This review is for CORONADO STUDIO:…read more We had a family wedding to attend in Pasadena in May, and decided to stay in the Silver Lake area where the groom (my husband's brother) lives since that's where pre-wedding events would be taking place. So six family members ended up renting all three Sanborn properties for the weekend, each had very positive things to say. My husband and I stayed at the Coronado for four nights and absolutely loved it! For $85 a night, you can't beat having a full kitchen and FREE wifi! I think we managed to only buy two meals while were were on our trip. We spent about $100 on groceries at the Smart & Final near the apartment, and cooked most of our meals there, which saved us a ton of money! The host we talked to a couple of times, Jonathon, was very friendly and helped us with our luggage right off the bat. One huge plus was not having to clean the apartment before we checked out. I have rented a handful of houses before which we always had to "clean" ourselves if we didn't want to pay extra. The Coronado did not make us clean (even though we did as much as we could to not look like slobs upon leaving for common courtesy). I saw other people complain about thin walls, and hearing the other tenants in the building. That was never an issue while we were there. One of our favorite features was the rear entry to the private parking area. We didn't use the front door once while we were there. The only thing I would want to mention is that the driveway to the private parking is SO narrow, it would be unlikely that anything other than a small SUV or car could make it up the driveway. There's no way a Tahoe or anything large like that would be able to utilize the private parking. It worked fine for us in our Jeep Patriot, but we had to be very careful. The apartment isn't in the best neighborhood, but it seemed safe enough while we were there, and it's just minutes from Silver Lake and some great shopping on Sunset Blvd. There was a great view of the city at night from our balcony, and I really enjoyed looking out at night when the city was all lit up. All and all, we very much enjoyed our stay at the CORONADO and would highly recommend it, and stay there again. We also visited Tyler's Place where my in-laws were staying, and it was really nice. I probably wouldn't stay there however, as they had to share a kitchen with other guests they didn't know. That would work great if both sides of the house were being rented by people in your party though.

We were welcomed to a clean guest house and even included disinfectant wipes. The fridge was stocked with water and the kitchen included all the tools you need to cook with such as pots, pans, salt, and oil. The home was quiet for the majority of our stay and the host respected our privacy. She even included some delicious bar of dark chocolate. Overall, our stay was amazing. The host herself was great. Very accommodating and went above and beyond after I mistakenly left my khakis there. She immediately had them shipped to my home. She was so nice and communicated with me the entire time. Probably the best host I've had the pleasure of dealing with. This is guesthouse is saved as one of my favorites. I for sure will return when I need another weekend away with my significant other. I can't say it enough, this home is great and I highly recommend it to anyone considering to stay in Pasadena.

I had total privacy during my trip - hosts/owners live next door but other than hearing some jazzy piano playing on one of my walks through the neighborhood I never ran into them which is exactly how I like it. They checked in on me every couple of days via text, and when I needed a couple of additional kitchen towels for an incident involving some out of control spaghetti sauce, there was a small bag filled with towels outside the door within five minutes. The thing that will definitely bring me back is the blindingly fast internet - ATT Fiber for the win!

It's a beautiful homey sanctuary tucked away in Bel Air. I've attended soundbaths and cacao ceremonies here, which have been truly beautiful each time.

They have a small outdoor area in the third floor and it truly doesn't even feel like you're in Los Angeles. The owner, Hedda, is very kind. She has a big heart and warm energy that you'll notice right off the bat. I highly recommend visiting the Treehouse.

Marty and her staff made things much easier to get started than I thought would be the case, not just for my son but for me too. He adjusted, which of course takes time for anyone. The staff was always attentive. If he came and spent time with me, they always called to make sure they knew he was ok, they kept track of him. I always felt like they cared about their jobs and about him. This is assisted living, residents can come and go they have their own lives. This is not a medical facility or one with locked doors - residents can come and go. So you can't expect it to be something it is not supposed to be. Their job is to assist with daily living and meals, to help where needed. They do this very well. I found them to be genuinely nice people, always willing to help.

Throughout the stay, we dealt with pre‑existing issues (including a faulty toilet seat, loose towel racks, and other maintenance problems) that were documented in photos and reported via Airbnb at the outset. Instead of taking responsibility for those defects, the host later tried to reframe them as "guest damage" and filed a last‑minute claim nearly two weeks after checkout. The most troubling part is how the host attempted to justify the claim. They produced "Greenland Maintenance" invoices that, when you look at the contact details, appear to trace back to the host/management company itself, not an independent contractor, and even listed a non‑functional email address. A separate retail receipt showed inexpensive linen purchases from a big‑box store, presented as if they were evidence of substantial "damage." On top of that, this is a pet‑friendly listing with hefty upfront charges: cleaning fee, carpet shampoo fee, linen fee, and pet fee. After collecting all of those, the host still tried to bill hundreds of dollars more for so‑called "deep cleaning" for pet hair and minor chair "stains" that fall squarely within what any reasonable guest would expect those existing fees to cover. It felt like an attempt to double‑charge rather than a good‑faith response to actual damage. The cleaners were physically waiting in the driveway at checkout and entered immediately after we left, yet no issues were raised at the time. Only at the very end of Airbnb's reporting window did the host file an $800 claim. That timing, combined with self‑issued invoices and vague allegations, left me with zero confidence in the honesty or professionalism of this operation. I would not stay with this host again, and I would strongly urge anyone considering this property to read the fine print on all the extra fees and to document everything extensively if you decide to book despite these concerns. Airbnb are now taking action against them, per the screenshot attached of an email from Airbnb.
