This place worked out really well for us. Clean, comfy, quieter than I thought it would be with a school directly across the street, and centrally located to all of the places that we needed to go (LAX Airport, Venice Beach, The Staples Center, Universal Studios Hollywood, etc.). Street parking was difficult at times, but we just parked on a nearby cross-street, with a short walk to the guest suite. We especially liked the nice big shower, the air conditioners on hot days, and the snacks were a nice touch. We didn't meet her, but would like to say "thank you" to Nathalie, who was quick to respond to any questions we had and was a great host. :)
