We stayed at Nathyely's place for 5 nights. Below are the PROs and CONs:
Pros:
1) Nathyely and her family are very nice, they gave us privacy during our stay which was very thoughtful.
2) The room is spacious and is stylish, colored beautifully.
3) Nathyely had put some candy and breakfast corn flex in the room with a bottle of wine. Some movies and water. We ended up using only the water but it was nice to see she was thoughtful.
4) The room had private entrance which made it convenient for us although the path to the private entrance was not the most convenient.
5) They happily allowed us to use some of their kitchen equipment which was nice .
Cons:
1) During our stay the LA weather was cold. The room was located in the basement and normally is colder than upstairs but it was even colder during our stay. However there was no heater in the room or an air canal. This was the worst part honestly since we would get very cold at night.
2) The bathroom is very minimal. Not that minimalism is a bad thing but the bathroom sink was half the size of a regular sink which would make it very hard to wash hands without spilling lots of water on the floor. That size sink is good for kids not for adults. You also had to bend a little bit to fit there ( I am not a big person! 160Lb, 5 4). The mirror was so small and was hanged much lower than a regular height adult( I just think this was a kids bathroom!).
3) During our stay it rained a lot!(what are the odds!) And the water actually got into our room. It wasn't a tone of water but it definitely made my shirt wet (that was close to the door.)
4) I wish they had a small iron, and a small coffee maker in the basement. I guess the iron is a must sine you are in a trip and need to iron all the tightly wrapped up clothes but the coffee maker is a personal preference.
