Gali was a great host and was very flexible and amenable to us checking in early - which really helped us as we would have otherwise be trying to get our bags across town on bus and trains! The area that the flat is in is lovely, you do not feel that you are in LA at all! The only downside for us, was the links to public transport and how long it took to get out to anywhere - but hey it is LA! Just something to bear in mind if, like us, you're travelling and watching the pennies so abstaining from frequent UBER usage! Other than that Gali is a very laidback host and able to answer questions about the local area. The kitchen has everything that you might need to cook dinner and the living room has two incredible comfortable chairs. A two minute walk provides you with a Trader Joe's and a Peet's Coffee and a 5 minute walk takes you into the The Grove and the Farmer's Market.
