First time in the US and we had a great excitement to explore California. LA was a must to see and we picked Mary's place. We had some worries as we didn'have our car but the place was so close to public transportation that we didn't regret for renting it at all. We even took the bus to Santa Monica. Mary's place is exactly the same as it seems on the photos. She was very helpful and informative with the instructions about how to get to the house. I would definitely recommend her place.
