Lisa's place is my home away from home. I'm staying in a hostel style bedroom but with the luxury and comforts of a real home. Her property is massive with a big lot to park your car. And its convenient to public transportation. The kitchen is kept clean as well as the bedrooms and bathrooms. Natalie, her house manager is the coolest person you will ever meet and very accomodating of a traveller's needs. You will meet all sorts of interesting international people here. Yeah, its in the Valley alright but its a lot more peaceful here than the madness of downtown LA. Go check out Lisa's place
