I stayed with Christal for 5 weeks, it was wonderful! Christal is supercool, very welcoming, helpful and there was great communication. The room is comfortable, especially considering there is a private bathroom, and the area is quiet and feels safe. The house is really nice and has a beautiful backyard. For me personally, the location worked out perfectly because I needed to be in North Hollywood a lot, which is about 10 mins away. There are lots of food places near by, as well as a 24hr Fitness. If you're into more tourist-type stuff, you'd likely want to rent a car as that's a bit farther out.
Christal also has the sweetest dog I've ever met in my life, and a sweet elderly cat that likes to play with hairbands! And she is the type to give you your own space. Staying with her made it feel like I was staying with family. Would love to stay here again & definitely recommend!
