Nadia is a very friendly and welcoming host. The first evening I arrived, we chatted a bit while watching TV and she gave me some tips about local places I should check out. The location in Beverly Hills is excellent... a safe and beautiful neighbourhood, within walking distance to several attractions (e.g., LACMA; La Brea Tar Pits; and other museums), nice restaurants and pubs, public transit, Beverly Hills shopping district, West Hollywood, etc. The apartment you'll share with Nadia is clean and spacious... your bed is extremely comfortable, and there's plenty of storage space in the bedroom for your things. There was a bottle of water and a glass set out for me on my nightstand, which was a nice touch. I would highly recommend staying with Nadia. It's a great home base from which to explore all that L.A. has to offer.
