We stayed in Shelley's guesthouse January 22-25th. Its true what the ad says about it being private. The neighbourhood is very safe and quiet which my husband and I enjoyed. Shelley was a wonderful host and provided us with a lot of great tips on what to see and where to eat. The guesthouse is in a good location with walking distance to a Starbucks. Something to note that isn't shown in the ad is that the shower is very small and the showerhead is not the best, though that didn't matter too much. I would absolutely give this guesthouse / Shelley as a host 5 stars for your stay in LA!
