I thought the accommodations were straightforward and comfortable: a private bedroom with a nice bed, a good size table for my laptop and work papers, and a clean shower. I liked that it was 5 minutes from USC, where I was helping my son move in for the fall semester. I was a bit unsure of the neighborhood but I didn't feel threatened when I took a walk. Helen was very busy, as she had forewarned, so we had a little interaction, and that was fine with me as I was focused on my own agenda while in L.A. Thanks Helen!
