Valle's "garden room" in Culver City in the Westside was a real "find". It is a spacious comfortable room with a great view to a lovely back garden, and has its own large and separate bathroom, perfect for a single person (or even a couple) who values privacy and quiet and doesn't need kitchen privileges . The bedroom & bathroom are a part of her house just off the living and dining areas that is quite private, exactly the sort of place I was seeking for a 5-night stay. Her modern and tasteful house is in a quiet neighborhood a few minutes walk to a supermarket, small shops and good restaurants, with easy access to the 405 Freeway. Valle herself is a really gracious, interesting, and helpful host, easy to talk to and communicate with. My experience there could not have been better!
