The host was wonderful! She made us feel welcome, gave us all the necessary information, was always available for questions but most importantly she just let us do our own thing and gave us our privacy. We really appreciated this as we didn't know what to expect. The neighborhood is convenient. It's close to the highway and parking is not a problem at all. The neighbors have a dog that barks every so often but it's of no real concern. The room is great, with a really large size bed, fridge, access to the patio and nice large windows for fresh cool air. The private bathroom is just outside the bedroom. All in all our experience was great! We would highly recommend it to anyone staying in LA.
