Rita is a warm and welcoming host who will help you with anything you need, and even fix you delicious things to eat or drink on occasion! The house is in a very quiet location, there is no traffic noise yet it is close to all the Melrose district has to offer. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. I slept great, and was rested for each day of an intensive study program in yoga I was attending nearby. The internet connection is slow, but functional. I recommend Rita's as a restful, enjoyable, and refreshing place to come home to while in LA.
