Mercedes was a great host, and I wish I could have stayed longer. She was ready with communicating and clearing up any questions I had. Some work needed to be done in the unit, and she asked me when it would be a good time for me. The space is open and homey. Hand washing dishes isn't my favorite activity, but there's plenty of room and sink space to accomplish it. This is a good spot if you want to get to truly know and understand LA. You'll get a feel for how the city's inhabitants really live, and not get a just shiny sparkly tourist experience. 10/10, would revisit.
