What can I say but, Wow! Nala and Sam's home is the best example of an Airbnb location I've come across (and I've stayed at many, in different countries). Their home is truly an oasis and they are both kind, gracious, and thoughtful. They invited me to join them for meals, which were absolutely lovely, and I enjoyed our conversations. Nala and Sam will give you as much privacy or interaction as you are comfortable with. But I do recommend getting to know them, as they are both amazing and interesting people.
The room and private bath were very clean, bright, and airy. I appreciated the private entrance so I could come in late without disturbing them. The bed is very comfortable and I wish my own down comforter and pillows were as plush as the ones on the bed (the weather had turned chilly so it was much appreciated). The backyard is large and has beautiful fruit trees, a lawn that beckons bare feet, and plenty of seating to enjoy morning coffee or tea, a meal or just relax in the ambiance. The street parking is easy and the neighborhood is safe and clean. Their home is located within easy reach of the beach, Riviera Village (great restaurants, boutique shopping, and a Trader Joe's), and a major shopping mall. The freeway is not to far if you want/need to get to other areas.
If you are traveling to the South Bay of Los Angeles, I recommend you make Nala and Sam's place your first choice.
