This is one of the best travel experiences I've had so far. Mel's place was lovely. She was communicative and very easy to deal with. I booked less than 24 hours in advance and there weren't any issues. She and her family even took pity on me and had me over for dinner on a Friday night because Mel knew I missed my family.
I got a car for business meetings during the week but I barely needed it on the weekend because the place is only a few blocks from Abbot Kinney with fantastic bars and restaurants.
I'd give them more stars if I could!
