I highly recommend Jessica's bungalow. It is down a little alley and feels private. It is stylish, well appointed, and comfortable. We were in LA for a conference at the Convention Center and it was a quick Uber ride away.

She is a such a thoughtful host, she asked what kind of snacks we liked ahead of time, and had nice little things to eat in case we needed a little bite. She was so gracious to let us check in early after a day of traveling, and.. and... and... I just happened to ask her if there was a trader joe's near by or a grocery store ( so we could stock up) and she kindly explained where it was.
But this is the best part, the next think I know, I get a text asking me what we need from Trader Joe's as she is there!!!!!
How nice was that, to not have to get back in the car after traveling and have wine delivered to us....
There is not much to really walk "to" in the neighborhood as it is residential. It may also have a bit more "grit" than a visitor will explore in on their own, but the neighbors were really nice and it was a overall lovely experience.
And really, we were coming back after long days of seminars and walking around, so night life was not really on the agenda as a priority. Jessica had a guest account on her smart TV and so we had the lovely company of Netflix and Amazon Prime after these long days of walking around at the convention.
The space was comfortable, beds comfy, she provided a well supplied bathroom with multiple options for shampoo, body wash, and conditioner which was unexpected and welcomed.
Her towels were so luxurious too! Now I have towel envy....;) we were even able to squeeze a 4th friend on the sleeping mat, in the kitchen. (poor students you know)
I can not say "thank you" enough and would certainly recommend this spot again.
Thank you, thank you!
Cheers,
Tasha
