So let me start this review by saying that my stay at Amy and Renata's was not for the purpose of vacation but instead to take the California State Bar exam (I know total drag). Anyway, right off the bat, both Renata and Amy were friendly and very accommodating. They allowed me to bring my small dog and she really enjoyed playing in their beautiful backyard. The guest home has everything you could possibly need: coffee, fridge/freezer, bathroom (super clean), and a very comfortable bed, AND PRIVATE PARKING. They even provided me with an extra fan, which I appreciated (since I tend to run hot when I sleep). Also, the guest home is furnished with brand NEW furniture with Direct TV and wireless internet. For those unfamiliar with the area, their home is located in a GREAT neighborhood that is close to a variety of good eats and bars (also close to multiple freeways). My gf and I opted to eat in Downtown Culver City during our stay, but there are plenty of other options within a similar distance. Also for you east coasters that may visit, they live within 5 minutes of a Rita's Italian Ice!! As someone that is very familiar with Southern California (from Long Beach), I would highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking to experience LA. The neighborhood has plenty of young professionals and is also can serve as a good"hub" since it is close to other attractions LA has to offer.
