Vanessa's place was my first shared home experience through Airbnb. The private entrance is a great feature especially on evenings we came home later or mornings we left early. Our room was clean and the bathroom is super comfortable and looks newly renovated. The shower was a delight after long days exploring LA. She left us space in the fridge which was great because we often brought back leftovers and the kitchen had everything we needed. There were dirty dishes on the table when we arrived but nothing that was a big deal. The neighborhood is fine. Not much to explore but central enough to everywhere we wanted to visit like Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood. Ubers weren't too expensive considering how big LA is and how far things are so we opted to Uber instead of using public transportation. Vanessa was helpful and responsive.
