Thomas was an exceptional host, very helpful and friendly. He gave me excellent advice about what to do in LA, how to get around, and all manner of other useful suggestions about LA. Since I was travelling alone, he took time out of his schedule and took me to a few cool LA restaurants. He also dropped me off to a few tourist spots I wanted to visit. He also provided bottled water, juice and breakfast food if I wanted it. The house was very clean and comfortable. It is located in a very nice, safe area. Overall, it was a great first introduction to LA. I'd happily stay again.
