Clara's home is in a very quiet family neighborhood, yet very close to the main roads, and some very interesting restaurants (Salazar, Wax Paper) and the LA river bike/walking path. It was very clean, and has nice ceiling fans in each bedroom and in the main living spaces. The yard is spacious, with a lovely table under the lemon trees- Clara was very responsive to all inquiries and requests. Check in was very easy with a lock box, and she even accommodated an early check in request. Two of the bedrooms get some nice light in the morning, and one had very dark shades: perfect for those who like to have light in the morning, and those who want to have it very dark. The only thing that was a bit different was she uses the European method of making upbeds: with bottom sheets, and a top duvet with cover, without a top sheet. It's a little different than most of the places we have stayed, but the beds themselves were very comfortable. Would stay here again when we next visit the area- and would highly recommend Clara's place.
