Location, location, location!!
Homey and peaceful surroundings in a lovely neighbourhood, and close to all the sites around LA. Local restaurants are awesome - try Jonah’s Kitchen for Mexican/Latin/Caribbean cuisine and Milo and Olive for delicious fusion/Italian.
Ven and Gal’s place is new, stylish, and very clean. Remember, it’s just a suite, so not that spacious, but the bed is comfortable, the linens and towels are fresh and of high quality, and the bathroom is perfect. Great closet space. The only negative thing is that there is nowhere for two people to sit down and share breakfast - I sat on the bed and used the night stand as a table, and there was one chair which my husband used to sit at the desk. They do provide a functional and new microwave, fridge, kettle, and Nespresso machine. Ven responded quickly to our emails, and left clear instructions for check-in and departure.
All in all, it was a great experience for us.
