Cari's place is a jewel in LA; not is it only in a great location, but Cari and her family are truely amazing hosts. My parents stayed with them for 4 weeks; communication was very easy and Cari was very responsive. She went far and beyond with her hospitality, she has even filled the fridge with breakfast items upon their arrival, gave them a ride to hospital when I gave birth to my baby boy and my parents were also allowed to enjoy their beautiful backyard to lounge and eat outside. The guesthouse in the back is very well equipped with all utensils you need to make breakfast or cook and it was very clean upon arrival. It's located on a quiet street in a nice, also very walkable neighborhood, no traffic noise at night. Parking is easy as Cari gave us a parking permit for the neighborhood and we always found parking right in front of the house. The guesthouse has an impressive book collection in case you get bored which is very difficult in LA. The place is an approx 30 min drive from a lot of attractions like the Griffith Park, Malibu, Getty Center, Downtown etc. and located adjacent to Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles County Museum and The Grove shopping Mall are in a short walking distance, so are nice restaurants, cafes and grocery stores. Cari provides you with a ton of recommendations what to do and where to go. She is there whenever you need her but you also have a lot of privacy if you prefer that. Cari's family is adorable, her kids, cats and husband are lovely and actually you do not want to miss out on a nice conversation with them. My parents felt extremely comfortable staying there and would come back any time! I can recommend this place to anyone who wants to explore LA, it's perfect. It could have not been better for my parents. Thank you Cari for making this such a wonderful experience for them! It was their first time in LA and now they will come back for sure
