There are so many good things about Kathy's house but most importantly Kathy her self is a wonderful host. She's a Los Angeles native and can help you with anything you want to do in L.A.. Her house is beautiful, charming and comfortable. It's serene and peaceful at the same time in the middle of all that is happening. It's a couple of blocks from Melrose, Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, the Grove and Sunset blvd. You can walk to tall these places from her house. I had a great time staying with her. I will definitely go back.
