We highly recommend staying with Cathy and Joe. We were warmly welcomed into their house and got a short tour around the house. The room is nice and even has an AC. The house is located 15mins (by car) from the hollywood blvd, staples center, melrose ave/downtown inside of a nice neighbourhood. They gave us waterbottles and in the morning there was some coffee, orange juice, yogurt, muffins and other things for breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and will come back if we are in LA again 😊
