We were in LA after a 4 days' cross-country drive and we still had to fly out on a trans-Pacific trip. So we were very, very travel-weary. But The Hidden Spot was truly a home away from home. We spent 5 nights there. The Vargas family (and Sandra) were very friendly and made us feel welcome. The apartment's cosy (much larger than the pictures show) and lovingly furnished, the kitchenette has all the necessary utensils, and the toilet's small but very clean. There were a lot of thoughtful touches (glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling to lull you to sleep!) in making our stay comfortable. The two dogs are very friendly, too. I definitely recommend this place and will surely visit again.
