I loved my stay with Louis, he was a superbly friendly and acommodating host and gave me great suggestions on where to explore and how to find basic necessities (groceries, bank, etc). The guest house is just as described and the ceiling windows add a great natural light to the space. I really appreciated the binder that laid out the rules and guidelines in a simple and concise manner, unlike other places I've stayed where the info sprawls over dozens of pages. There's a large fridge and every cooking utensil you could need to make basic meals. And the location is great - a 10 minute walk to the 720 Rapid bus that takes you to Downtown or Santa Monica and the Wilshire/Western subway station. But what I loved most was the pool and patio area that is idyllic on a hot afternoon! I will definitely be back the next time I'm in LA!
