Not only does Janet live in a nice neighbourhood, but her beautiful home is effortlessly elegant and stylish and, while we barely saw each other, Janet seems just the same! This was my first experience of AirBnB - I had clear, welcoming and effective correspondence from Janet before my arrival and everything went smoothly.

Janet's room is peaceful, private, spotlessly clean, furnished with taste and care and has a really comfortable single bed; you can also open the door to the air and the lovely garden. The bathroom is similarly spotless and welcoming, solely for the use of the guest, which is a luxury and means one can relax and not worry about holding up anyone else, and a treat of some beautifully-preserved 1920s features, as is the whole house, indeed.

I don't drive and managed to get around Los Angeles solely by bus with ease, which really surprised me! Janet's place is near some major and really useful bus routes, just a 10-minute walk down the road past some beautiful quintessentially-Californian domestic architecture, where you will also find a couple of nice cafes where you can get a really decent cup of coffee (not to mention the most wondeful brownies at Casbah Cafe!). Not knowing LA at all before, apart from the briefest visit 25 years ago which was not very pleasant, I'd say with my new-found authority that Janet's neighbourhood is the best place to be, accessible as it is to a range of areas of the city.

Thank you for a great stay, Janet, it was a lovely place to be.
