I really enjoyed my stay with Franccesca during my 10-day trip to LA.
Franccesca was a great host, super responsive and friendly, and everything was exactly as advertised. The whole check-in process was super relaxed, but organized and Franccesca sent me very clear instructions on how to use the amenities, WIFI and keys to the apartment, as well as the garage.
I found it very helpful to have parking included for my rental car, although the apartment was within 5 mins walking distance of a Trader Joe's, Starbucks, La Brea Bakery for lovely Brunch and Republique, which is an excellent restaurant.
Franccesca's place is also a very short drive away from the Grove Shopping center and cinema, as well as the world-famous Farmer's Market. The area felt safe and it also didn't take too long to Venice beach which was only about a 30-40 mins drive away.
The fact that the room had it's own en-suite and walk-in closet was perfect for me, and as there's a door to separate the guest tract from the communal areas you basically get your own private space, including a mini-fridge in the room which was very handy.
I would definitely book again when I come back to LA.
Thanks for your hospitality Franccesca!
