Jennifer is an awesome host. She is very attentive to your needs and will try to correct anything that needs attention. You should know this place is indeed what the listing says, “rustic”. You’re not staying at a hotel, so don’t expect a shiny, new place. It’s an older building and the back third of her house with its own entrance. Think of staying at an old farmhouse that has a small studio guest suite. We had some adjusting to do, for the heat, California in August is hot, but after we stayed a few days, we settled in nicely. There is a window unit in the sleeping area, which will keep the room to around 80 degrees during the hottest part of the day. Remember, it’s a dry heat. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, near the Metro (15 minute walk), and you may hear an occasional cluck from the chicken hens, which will greet you at your door or nearby. We enjoyed having some fresh eggs every once in a while, nice perk. The washer and dryer are just outside your door and shared with her household. Jennifer does her best to keep the outside area and your entrance clean of chicken droppings, but occasionally you may have to watch your step, not a big deal. All in all it’s a great value for a Los Angeles area listing and Jennifer is an incredible host!
