As we had plans all over L.A., we appreciated the central location of Vanessa's home. She's in a very quiet neighborhood (important to us because we're light sleepers), and is within walking distance to a grocery store and a couple restaurants (Taqueria Los Anaya is awesome!). It was especially convenient to have our own washroom, washer & dryer, as well as a private entrance. We had a missed flight and ended up arriving at a totally different time than intended, but Vanessa was very accommodating and was still able to meet us in person for check-in. I highly recommend her home to other travelers, and would gladly stay there again.
