Great host, great place. We are normally reticent to rent private rooms rather than entire places, however, between the private entrance and the way C. Jay has the room cordoned off from the house, we never really felt like we were in someone else's space. The room itself was warm and inviting, with great natural light and a view of the cute, multi-tiered backyard. While we did not use the tub, the shower had great water pressure and C. Jay provides shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you don't have your own. Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable!
As a host, C. Jay was wonderful. Very personable and communicative, happy to chat when we saw each other but never imposing in any way.
Honestly, the thing that deterred us from several other potential Airbnb's was a lack of parking. The availability of street parking at C. Jay's place was a big draw. My husband and I each had our own rental car and we were always able to find spots either on C. Jay's block or the next block over.
Overall, we highly recommend booking C. Jay's place! We will definitely be doing so the next time we are in LA.
