I stayed at Chrissy's place at the beginning of my move to LA. It's in a great location within walking distance to JPL and some superb hikes in the San Gabriel mountains. The house is very comfortable and has a great back deck for reading and working.
Chrissy is a wonderful host. She showed me around the local area and gave me some great advice on how to get set up in LA. Chrissy went out of her way to make me feel at home and make my transition to LA easier.
