I had a fantastic week in L.A. and absolutely loved Ellen's place. It is the perfect home away from home. Clean, welcoming, comfortable and excellently placed to discover the city. 30 minute walk from the beach and a short drive to the Expo line that connects you to the rest if L.A.
Ellen is lovely too. Sadly only got to meet briefly but she was very friendly and even packed me off with some fruit from her garden. Cannot recommend this place enough. Airbnb at its best.
