I cannot more highly recommend staying at this places. Loretta house was far better then expected. The photos don't do it justice. She was an excellent host and was very good to us. The place is clean and comfortable. It is positioned in Gardena in a very friendly neighbourhood. Gardena is very central to a lot of places in LA via the interstate if you are travelling by car. Loretta's place is about a 15 minute walk to the green line train which will give you access to Manhattan Beach/ Long Beach. We stayed here for 5 night before heading back to Australia and we were truly blessed to of found it. 10/10
