We didn't meet Alex because he was out of town, but Peggy was a wonderful host!! She was super flexible with our arrival time and in general a very communicative host. Also just the sweetest person ever :) the place was great! A bit smaller than we expected, but very well equipped with everything that we would need and in such a nice and quiet neighborhood!! The yard was fantastic since we brought our two little dogs, and it was suuuuper conveniently located to lots of restaurants and pretty much everything else. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to visit LA!!
