The hosts were incredible prior to arrival. They were accommodating, assisted with recommendations for local dry cleaners and amenities and are extremely responsive. Did I mention, there is a strip of stores including a bakery, Italian restaurant, coffee house and even the tamales stand that is there from like 7-10am every morning right across the street from teh apartment. This is a gentrified area in LA, but it was great and the views were amazing when I took the time to walk around the neighborhood.
