Dean is the kindest, most gracious host you will meet. He keeps his cottage very clean. His pool is great, and the fruit from his trees are to die for. If you are coming to Los Angeles and looking for a safe comfortable place that will give you the feeling of being at home, then this is the place. Great washer/dryer private for your use only is available right outside your backdoor. Dean makes you feel very comfortable and is extremely accommodating, while respecting your privacy at the same time.
