I think this place is a little gem. It's quiet, close to public transit, in an interesting neighborhood and very organic in terms of its simplicity, tile work, lighting, kitchenette and uniquely extensive garden.
Host is amenable, friendly and there to serve.
The toilet is not cordoned off which may be an issue for those that need privacy. But for one, who cares?
It's a straight shot to the busses and the Metro Gold Line so I was easily and inexpensively able to go just about anywhere during daylight hours. The Altadena Metro Gold Line stop is pretty seedy so I'd depend on friends or Lyft for night rides.
I really liked this place because of its verdancy and openess. I look forward to coming back.
