Caris garden guesthouse is just wonderful! We were looking for a place that was central to sights, beaches and restaurants, and since we travelled with our 7 months old baby girl we also wanted to have the opportunity to relax "at home" in the evenings. This place has all that, and then some!
The garden is very nice and some days we just stayed at the apartment and relaxed in the garden and enjoyed the sun. The apartment is very comfortable and had everything we needed, Cari had even put out some toys, baby blanket, highchair and bathtub for our baby, wich was a huge succes!!
Cari is one of the best hosts I have come across in Airbnb (and we use Airbnb a lot!). She is extremely friendly, gave us a lot of info prior to arrival and during our stay, was very helpful all the time, has incredible eyes for the details (like putting out an umbrella the day it looked like rain, and not to mention the extra baby stuff!). My advice is to listen to her tips, it can easily make your LA-experience even more amazing :)
