Our stay at Judy's place has been a wonderful experience in many ways than one.
Judy is absolutely all that a super host should be.....ever helpful, thoughtful, communicative and considerate. We found a warm friend in her. :)
Her place is exactly as described both by her and the other guests. Brentwood is a charming, quiet, easily accessible (even by Uber as we weren't driving around) and safe neighborhood, within close driving distance to Venice, Santa Monica, UCLA, Hollywood etc.
The intriguing entrance to the place (which is a nicely designed outhouse within Judy's premises) is via a garage.
Once in you are in a well designed comfortable space with a fairly well equipped kitchen, which Judy had loaded with breakfast stuff, besides the yummy brownies she had made to welcome us 😊
The dining table and the chairs in the living space overlook the treeladen backyard as does the bed at the lower level. We loved this bit of open space that we could walk in and out of and relax in. The ample closet space is a boon to tuck away the luggage and the bathroom is well equipped with toiletries and towels.
The well lit spacious loft up a short flight of steps doesn't have enough headroom to stand, but didn't pose much of a problem for my son who is almost 6' tall.
Summing up I would say it's a great comfortable option in west LA, even for a family of four. I would definitely come back and stay here again, more so because Judy has been such an amazing host taking time out not only to guide us do non touristy stuff but also making it extra special for my graduating kid.
