Wonderful hosts, wonderful home, wonderful location.
If you're not an LA regular you might second guess this neighborhood or perhaps feel it's too far off the beaten track. It isn't. And you shouldn't. This is such a lovely place, only a few minutes walk from a great local super market and a five minute drive away from trendy Figueroa St and York Blvd. The 110 is just downhill and the 134 conveniently brings you around the heavy traffic in midtown, if you want to enjoy Glendale, Burbank, etc.
The hosts were amazing, friendly and welcoming - we met several times. And their home is perfect for a small family, with rooms for everything, amazing views of the hills and loads of things to do. There are several playgrounds within 5-10 min. drive and we enjoyed all of LA, from Santa Monica, Venice and Manhattan Beach, to hiking and old town in Pasadena.
Highly recommended.
