Julie’s place is as described - charming, quiet, and safe. Her home is quaintly decorated with many personal touches filled with memories and stories (which if you are lucky she will share with you). The room is perfect for 1 person, and is clean and comfortable. Location wise, you can catch several buses/trains to-fro Santa Monica and Hollywood, but walking will likely not be an option. Julie makes a lovely breakfast every morning which is great for being on the go, and I thoroughly enjoyed my chats with her at the end of each day. Highly recommend for all solo female travelers looking for a quiet homely place to stay in LA.
