Staying here was like staying near old friends from back home. The hosts were helpful, warm, and inviting. The space was totally private and well situated for a long term stay or short visit. The private entrance really made it feel like I had my own private luxury hotel room in the middle of a lovely residential neighborhood. With nearby highways, getting around LA was a breeze. There is lots of great shopping, dining and nightlife in the nearby areas. With a kitchen and washer/dryer its perfect for business travelers and weekend trippers alike. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again on my next visit to the city. My compliments to the hosts. It's really quite a great value.
