Helen's place was beautiful, and her hospitality and communication were terrific. Kitchen is well-appointed and spotless, and the house is close to a lot of great food spots as well - plus it's only a block away from outstanding coffee at Cafecito Organico ( I don't drink much coffee but that cold brew had me coming back). Street parking was easy, but if you need a more secure spot there's a gated carport that can be made available. Please don't book here so it's available next time I'm in LA, but if you do you probably won't regret it.
