We stayed at Teresa's place for 3 nights during the LA leg of our California coast trip and it was exactly what we were looking for! Teresa was there to meet us upon arrival (even though I changed the time twice due to flight delays), showed us the property and gave us a great run-down of the neighbourhood. She was super helpful when it came to bus routes, places to eat, and where to buy essentials in the area as we were without a car for the first two days. A variety of toiletries were provided, which was greatly appreciated as it cut down on things we had to buy and lug around with us.

The apartment is conveniently located about a 20 minute bus ride from Venice Beach and less than that from the airport, but not so close that you can hear airplane traffic. We arrived home late at night a couple times and felt safe walking from the transit stops to our room. The room itself was clean, comfortable and equipped with the basic necessities. We could occasionally hear the people in the unit next to us, but I think the listing is pretty clear that it's a quiet building and neighbourhood so as long as everyone is respectful of that you should have no problems. On one of our nights there, there were guests arriving late in the night and Teresa was kind enough to warn us that there may be some noise at that time.

Teresa was a wonderful host and we would highly recommend the room to anyone looking to spend a few days in LA and the surrounding area! The only downside was the parking ticket we got on the last night as we arrived back late and didn't realize we were parked in a "red zone." There did appear to be lots of parking available, we just weren't paying attention. All in all, it was a great stay!
