Our family had a fantastic stay at Valda and Monica's house. The house matched the description perfectly and we really came to feel at home during our two months living there. Valda was an absolute dream host, going out of her way to help us with everything from recommendations to fixing things in the house. Great communication, very reliable and a genuinely nice person.
The area is great, quiet and safe with walking distance to cafés, restaurants and stores even though a car is highly recommended - it's LA after all. Street parking with Valda's guest permit works well.
I highly recommend this place to couples, friends or families who want a good LA experience. We travelled with a toddler of 14 months and after some quick baby proofing the house worked really well for us. There's also a nice workspace that I could use to make music. 5 out of 5!
