Daniel and Andrea introduced us to Los Angeles during our first stay in the city. We had a great time in part because of the fact they are gracious hosts and the room they provided for us was perfect for our needs: It's private (nestled in the back near a beautiful tree and in a guest house in a cozy area), lots of natural sunlight, and quiet. The space has high ceilings and the front doors open to a patio that provide a relaxing breeze while you read a book or chill.
The hosts had a solid list of recommendations on what to visit in the area (I starred all of them through Google maps). They also respected our privacy and the general neighborhood they live in has access to a wide variety of restaurants, shops, and transportation. Stay for the weekend or more.
