I stayed with Tanja for five nights and found her a friendly and gracious host. Her home is located in a beautiful, safe, residential neighborhood with easy access to the major freeways of LA. Street parking next to the house was always available. The guesthouse is even lovelier than pictured, well equipped and very private. The furniture was quite comfortable for my binge watching of host provided Netflix and I slept like a baby every night. Checking in and out was a breeze. I travel regularly to LA and Tanja's guesthouse is at the top of my list of places to stay and this list includes several five star downtown hotels!
