We chose Heidi's place based on location and previous positive reviews. The location allowed us to beat a lot of LA traffic as we could take surface streets to most places. And Heidi really does go above and beyond most other hosts in that her place was spotless, the linens and towels fresh and clean, and, this is what I think really sets Heidi apart, the food and cooking items in the kitchen. Heidi had fresh bread, bananas, milk, cereal, coffee, etc. all there for us when we arrived. It made it so that we knew we didn't have to go shopping before arriving and could just rock up, sleep and then wake up with breakfast items already in place. Heidi is also an amazing communicator and everything was seamless and easy from check-in to check-out. I will note we were out most days and nights so aside from breakfast, we really didn't eat at the granny flat nor hang around the area. But if what you need is a good base for your time in LA, I highly recommend Heidi's place.
