From the 1st moment it felt like home! I got this very nice, cozy and especially very clean room with a comfy bed and my own bathroom! I had all what I needed incl. fridge, microwave, blanket for colder nights etc.! Sandra and Gary showed me around in their area and also gave me a lift to the train station when I wanted to go to Los Angeles Union Station! From the Union Station it's just a short trip to Santa Monica/Venice Beach with the Metro (ca 50min).
Sandra and Gary's home is a wonderful place to be in an interesting area with a lot of shops and restaurants just a short walk! Sandra and Gary were so helpful whenever I needed help with something! I'm absolutely sure I'll be back the next time if I'm going to LA again even its not very close to LA Downtown and the Beaches! But it doesn't matter cause anything else is it absolutely worth to stay with Sandra and Gary! And for me its more important to have a cozy and clean room instead of staying in a dirty and expensive condo in front of the beach cause you can rent a car very cheap just around the corner from Sandra and Gary's house to go wherever u like!
I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone who also likes to get the feeling coming home in a friendly, cozy and clean house with lovely hosts!
