I’m very happy I ended up at Claudius’s place! The bed was VERY comfortable. Also, the hosts were exceptionally good at explaining everything and responding to questions and concerns with lightning speed. There were some very thoughtful touches as well-for example, the fridge and pantry were divided and labeled to delineate each different guest’s section by room number. There’s also a community shelf in the fridge for food all guests are welcome to share. I appreciated that I could lock my room from the outside so I felt safe leaving my laptop in the room. I was very relieved I paid a little extra for the parking spot, especially as a solo female traveler. I would have felt a little uneasy if I had to park far and walk in the dark back to the house. Also, just be aware that there is no air conditioning (but a very good ceiling fan). A very cool and eclectic place to stay in LA with easy access east or west. I definitely recommend!
