We stayed at May's lovely house for just over five weeks, and found it to be the perfect place for an extended visit to Los Angeles. Situated up in the hills of Mount Washington, the house and environment was quiet and secluded, the back garden a perfect retreat in which to relax.

The house itself is bright and airy with a well appointed kitchen - ideal for cooking. We were able to have a few friends over for a BBQ which was great to be able to do. The bedrooms are a good size with lots of wardrobe storage space. The kids play area / toys was great to have when friends with children stopped by.

We have lots of friends in the neighbouring areas - Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, Glendale etc which are all worth visiting, and the proxmity to a number of freeways made everywhere just a 15 to 20 minute drive away, with Hollywood and beyond naturally taking a bit longer to reach.

May was an excellent host - great at communicating, helpful with questions, and full of ideas of things we could do during our stay. Really glad we got to meet her in person and we intend to stay in touch. We highly recommend staying with May, either as a guest or when the whole house is available, being great value all round
