We had a wonderful time staying at Carols place, located in the best part of Los Angeles. Once arriving at this place, we were welcomed by Chris, Carols husband. He was really friendly and made us feel at home. Sam the little dog was there as well and is absolutely adorable.
The private room is amazing, sparkling clean and with the best view. Chris is good company and answered all of our questions and gave great tips for sightseeing and coffees in the neighbourhood. Spring lake is full of nice restaurants and coffee places. You do need a car though, as there is no easy public transportation (or go for Uber). Parking in the whole city is very easy and cheap (free at Carols place of course).
We would definitely recommend staying at this place and looking forward to come back!
