I'm a self-sufficient, independent traveler who needed a comfortable pleasant room in a good location and Valerie's place was perfect. I enjoyed my stay. I had everything I needed from my own entrance, to roomy bathroom, coffee and fridge, and even a bike to get down to Venice Beach! The bed was comfy and the room was airy with a lot of light. Valerie gave me tips on where to find things I needed such as sundries and special groceries. The neighborhood was pleasant and safe … I even felt safe walking around at night. I recommend Valerie's place and would definitely stay here again in the future.
