I could not praise Melinda highly enough. She was incredibly accommodating of my out-of-town family's late check-in (they didn't arrive till after 11pm, but she stayed up to make sure we got in without any problems), she was EXTREMELY quick to respond to messages, and her home...what a treat! My family could not stop raving about the guest unit. The pictures do not do it justice, it is spacious, comfy, and elegantly appointed. Thoughtful touches like breakfast pastries and refreshments made my guests feel completely at home. If you need a place to stay in the L.A. area, don't bother looking anywhere else, and just book Melinda already.
