Kathleen's place is wonderful. The location is fantastic, with a grocery store two blocks away, restaurants and bars within walking distance and a short drive to Venice Beach. LAX is 15 minutes away. The guest house has everything that you need including a comfy queen bed, cozy living room, fully functional kitchen, bathroom with shower, and a nice courtyard. It feels like a safe neighborhood. I should know, I walked along Washington to a pizza place at dark, and had no trouble. One big bonus is the included parking permit.
