Meg really was almost pretty much like a friend of the family or even like the perfect stranger you would meet on your overseas travels ! She was super helpful with local travel tips, loved to hear stories & tell some. She even invited me to walk to the nearby store with her & bought me a beer, afterward we had a great chat. The location was great, so close to the train & some fun nearby spots. Only regret is not staying another night, where I could have checked more of York St & Old Pasadena. If you're looking for the affordable best spot in LA, with an indie film star kinda host, Look no further. If you do, you'll catch a case of FOMO ;). I couldn't give more than 5 stars unfortunately, but that's my tip.
