Ben and Monica were friendly and pretty good about getting back to us with any concerns even though they were gone camping during our arrival. The guest house has all of the essentials for a kitchen and they even had toiletries, shampoo/conditioner, ect. to use which we had not expected! The neighborhood is safe; we walked to the closest market without any issues. The location was perfect since we were exploring different parts of LA. The hosts were nice and respectful and let us maintain our own sense of privacy which was really nice since that has sometimes been an issue for my sister when she used Airbnb.
