Melanie was an incredible host always willing to provide a comforting environment, local knowledge and the occasional morsel of delicious home made food. She made a summer internship an incredible experience by helping/pushing me to enjoy the non work hours. She also provided a surprisingly amount of useful life wisdom along the way which will be useful to me for years to come.
Her house makes excellent use of space so you can relax in your room, outside (my personal favorite), on some truly comfortable loungers or in the kitchen.
The location is great providing easy access to several beaches and the greater LA area.
I can not recommend staying with Melanie enough
