David and Manoela were great hosts. They were friendly and accommodating, and I had no problems being able to be productive with them in the house. The room was very homely and the cats were cool. The place is a bit cluttered and could do with some tidying up/cleaning, but since I was in my room most of the time or out of the house, it wasn't much of a concern - my room was clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were clean enough for it to not really matter. There was a strange odor coming from / near the fridge, but that was my only knock against the place. Will book again when I'm in LA for a cozy, affordable stay.
