Angela is a wonderful host. Always friendly and easy to talk to. There was always (free) parking available on the street without having to search far away, but the only (slight) negative of the area (coming from NYC) was that there are not many places nearby where you can eat. Not "luxury" accommodations, but rather a friendly "at home" lodging where I felt very relaxed, and was exactly what I was looking for. Angela's kitchen is available for making something at home. If I return to LA, I would definitely stay here and I would highly recommend a stay here if this is the side of LA you will be visiting. I enjoyed eating breakfast on the patio and watching the hummingbirds in the morning.
