Things that were great: Monty and Sheida’s hospitality, helpfulness, the location was very close to UCLA which was great. The neighbourhood felt very safe. The only drawback was the kitchen (maybe not a concern if you are not planning to cook much). The sink is very small - not really a kitchen a sink that made washing dishes difficult - and the table was difficult to eat at especially if you are more than one person. It would be nice to maybe have a standard 4-legged table in there.
Monty was very helpful and responsive when I had any issues or questions - I felt very reassured and safe throughout my stay.
