Recently spent 4 nights staying at Beth's place - and throughly enjoyed it!! The house was centrally located so everything I wanted to do (Griffith Park, Santa Monica, Downtown) were all about 20-30 minutes away by Uber (depending on traffic!). LACMA is within a 15 walk. The room is lovely, nicely decorated and there is a fridge in the room which is a nice touch. And the bed was really comfortable! Even though it's her home, Beth, the home-owner, encouraged me to come and go whenever I wanted to and made the whole experience very easy and relaxing.
Beth, her children, her au pair Gabi, and Sophie (the dog!) are all lovely. While there is no pressure to be part of the family, it was particularly great for me, as a solo traveller, to be able to chat to them on occasion and ask questions. They were amazingly helpful and kind and I would definitely stay at Beth's again. Thank you Beth!
