Christine's place was very nice. The backyard and sauna were a bonus. We enjoyed the sauna a couple of times and had coffee in the backyard every morning. Parking could be an issue if you come in later than 8:00 but the one night we had a problem we came in much later, around 10 pm. Christine and Laurence helped us out with the parking issue and if her place is available for future LA trips we would love to stay again.
