This is a beautiful backyard guest house in East Hollywood, where hosts Mando and Marta have created a beautiful garden oasis in their backyard. Mando and Marta were communicative and kindly adjusted my check-in and check-out times based on my flights in and out of LAX. The check-in instructions were accurate and easy to follow, and my stay was wonderful. Because of social distancing I only interacted with Mando and Marta briefly but they were both friendly and kind.
The guest house is in the backyard of Mando and Marta's primary residence, at the end of what used to be a driveway. It features high-speed internet, a small kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower. Although it's sparsely furnished, it's done so with thought and care so that it feels both cozy and spacious. I ate breakfast on the private outside patio most mornings, and the dual heating/AC unit in the window let me dial in the right temperature when it got cold at night.
I didn't have a car during my stay in LA so I travelled on foot, by Metro, or via LA's bike share system. It's a bit of a trek from the house to the nearest Metro station but as someone from a walking city I enjoyed the excuse to be out and about. Though I was never out late, I did get back after dark a few times and I never felt unsafe walking from the Metro.
Overall this was a really wonderful stay. I'd definitely stay with Marta and Mondo again if I wound up back in LA!
