We stayed at the "International House of Bek" for three weeks while out in LA on business and enjoyed every minute of it. We immediately felt at home and part of a larger family. Bek was a very warm and generous host; her positivity is charming and contagious. She's very professional in her handling of the B&B and it's clear that she truly cares about her guests' experience. Everything is well organized and the property is kept clean. The house is infused with creativity and music and general good vibes that helped to make our trip hugely successful. The house is a nexus of interesting people so there's plenty of opportunity to converse, network and just hang out. That said, you are in full control of how social or private you want your stay at IHOB to be.

Note to foodies: There are some good, inexpensive eating options in the area. The al pastor tacos on the food truck at Washington & Arlington are sublime and only $1.25/ea. Also check out the Jamaican restaurant and El Salvadoran bakery - both within a short walk's distance - for some excellent authentic eats.
