For all future travelers, this is a fantastic choice. I'll start with the home: beautiful hard wood hard floors, private room w/ on suite bathroom, unique decor, and a "out-like-a-light" bed. A small thing that really made me feel welcome was being able to walk in the door and have a cup of tea after a long day of travel. Ia is a lovely host; a great storyteller, sharp sense of humor, and excellent food recommendations (Pie&Burger, out of this world!). I stayed with her to see the Rose Bowl Parade, and would definitely recommend this location for the same event or other events in the area. It is just far enough away to escape the crowds but close enough to walk if you wanted. That's all I got, safe travels to all you Airbnb-ers out there.
