We cannot recommend more highly the hospitality of Barbara and Gunther. For cat lovers, spending time with the resident cat, Miss Mau Mau is an extra bonus. The location in West LA was ideal because it is conveniently, near highways and public transportation. Between Santa Monica and Westwood both were easy to reach. Nearby are all the services you need including several excellent reasonably priced take-out restaurants. But the best is getting to know Barbara and Gunther and share space with her darling cat.
