Marie and her daughter are very welcoming, kind hosts. Sadly, though this was not the right airbnb for me. I found the house incredibly dark which I found very depressing. I didn't feel I could use the kitchen, apart from breakfast yet there is nowhere that is walkable to to eat or shop. If you are going to LA to see the sights and have a car I would say this is good value for money, if you just want to have a laid-back gentle place to stay I would suggest not.
