As noted in other reviews, Mahasti is a wonderful host. Her place is spacious, quiet and comfortable, and comes equipped with many thoughtful amenities to ensure a pleasant stay. While nestled in a quiet enclave, the place is within minutes of a bustling commercial district along Ventura Blvd with access to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, yoga studios, and a large shopping mall. Mahasti sets the bar very high for other Airbnb hosts - I highly recommend!
