We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Stephen and Helga's guest house and found it the perfect place to explore LA from. They were great hosts giving us advice on where to go and what to do in the local area. Having our own guest house meant we could come and go as we pleased and we loved being able to have breakfast every morning on the terrace without having to go out (there is a huge Whole Foods near by). We also enjoyed having the bikes to cycle to Venice and Santa Monica which was really useful and made for a welcome change from driving. We would highly recommend this to anyone staying in LA. The guest house is wonderful...as are the hosts!
