Jill was such a kind host. I saw good reviews but didn't expect her to be so sweet. She's a good cook and conversationalist so it was really nice to sit with her and have dinner one night. Her 2 dogs are very sweet cuddle bugs, so you need to be animal friendly staying with her. The room was clean, had eveything we needed in the bathroom, and we got a little area outside our room to work privately. The movie theatre room is a real bonus too for more longterm guests. It was cold while we were there so we couldn't enjoy the backyard too much, but I can see it being perfect in the warmer months.
Location is kinda the in between going to Venice/Santa Monica and Hollywood. I was there for work and it was close to our office near Culver city. Made it a good in between for work and seeing the sites. It was in a super safe residential area, but don't expect to walk anywhere. LA transit sucks so be prepared to uber. Jill was also very quick to respond, which was real nice the one time I forgot my key!
