Our stay with Melissa was absolutely fantastic. Melissa greeted us as soon as we arrived and guided us to our room. She immediately followed up with answers to common questions and told us to message her or knock on her door if we had any questions.

The room was fantastic and was exactly as advertised. The floors were cleaned not too long before we arrived so it was extra clean! There is an air conditioner and a ceiling-mounted fan that we found to be handy as the room did get quite warm in the afternoon. Everything in the room was clean and well maintained. The shower worked great and had good water pressure. We were pleasantly surprised by the snacks and drinks that Melissa provided in the room. The bathroom was conveniently stocked with amenities such as toilet paper, razors, soap, sunscreen (wow!), toothpaste, shampoo, and conditioner. Clean towels were also provided which saved us space in our luggage!

The parking space was very convenient as the streets did get completely occupied by around 9PM at night. However, the parking space is pretty tight so passengers and luggage will have to get out first before you park. Street parking was very easy and pain-free whenever we were able to find a spot!

Melissa's guest house is in a great location. It is close by to Sawtelle Japantown, Ralph's, Trader Joe's, gas stations, and most importantly the I-10 and the I-405. We had no trouble getting around from Melissa's house. Also, it is only about a 10~15 minute drive away from the beach. Melissa graciously offered to lend us her bikes to ride to the beaches and taking a cab/Uber/Lyft is a good option as well!

We have zero complaints about our stay at Melissa's guest house and we would not hesitate to book with her again whenever we are in the area.
