Anissa was very welcoming while I stayed at her guest house before I moved into my lease. She provided recommendations on what to see and what to do in LA. The space is completely private, however it doesn't have a secure lock (there is a gate that locks outside the property). Anissa provides a lock box if you have valuables, but it felt a little more open that I would have liked. The space itself is gorgeous with all the amenities to make small meals while staying there. Bring an eye mask though since the blinds are pretty sheer.
