Jennifer was a fantastic host and her place a wonderful haven to come home to during my recent time in Los Angeles. I stayed nearly a month and felt welcome and comfortable right from the start. The room itself (with attached bathroom) was cozy and clean, while the common areas were light-filled with lots of charm and character. The kitchen was perfectly suitable for the meals I prepared, while the tables in the kitchen and (adjacent) living room provided a cheerful atmosphere in which to enjoy them. I also made much use of the common areas (and their attendant calm) to get reading and writing done and, in general, just to feel "at home."

The house has a small but beautiful yard and is situated in a wonderful neighborhood within easy walking distance of commercial areas and a healthy hike from Griffith Park and its beautiful views of the city. Highlights for me were early morning treks up to the observatory and Mount Hollywood and evening strolls up and down the stairway streets of the Los Feliz neighborhood with an eclectic group of people who meet once a week to do this walk - I was pointed in the direction of both of these outings by Jennifer, who was also kind enough to direct me to local eateries as well as to places of interest both nearby and farther afield. As a first-time Airbnb guest, it's hard for me to imagine being able to give a higher recommendation to a host. She is a great person, an engaging conversationalist, and a truly knowledgeable guide to the city. I'd stay at her place again in a heartbeat.
