I stayed at Barbara (or MauMau’s!) place just before the new year and it was a relaxing treat. The complex is charming and quiet. The 1b1b is functional and cozy. I adore the colorful decor pieces and greenery in the sunny living room. The location can not be better, minutes away from Japanese town in Sawtelle area where you can find tons of restaurants, ramen places, coffee shops, desert places…Also a mere 10min drive to world class museum Getty Center on 405.
Barbara is a wonderful host. She is communicative and often responds in real time. I was on vacation and very appreciative of her flexibility the entire time. It was touching to hear the back story of MauMau. She is quite a doll, friendly and peaceful. It was a very lovely stay. Highly recommend.
