Maria was amazing (and her husband too)! Very friendly and made me feel right at home.
I know where to go if I ever visit LA again.
The room was great, I had my own private sink in the bathroom, and the sharing of the shower etc went well with the one other guest.
The hosts also took me shopping with their car on my 2nd day so I could buy food for my week there. Additionally I was able to use their laundry machine to do laundry whenever I needed. I only needed to do my laundry once.
To top it all off, they were happy to give me a ride to the Cruise Port at the end of my stay because it fit in with their plans and they didn't have anything else planned for the morning when I left - otherwise I would have taken an Uber.
