Ann-Marie and Emeric were very friendly and did their best to make me feel welcome. They also included me in socializing outside the house and told me of places that I should see, and they even offered me to show me some of the interesting places in the area. The room was not large but had both a bed and a table, which was all that I needed. I did get really hot in the room, but a heat wave was over LA during my stay, and a fan was provided by Emeric. The kitchen could be a little messy and there were also other guests living at the same time as me, but the listing also came at a very affordable price. A good alternative to living at a hostel.
