Brenda and Stina were totally welcoming and super easy to be around; available if needed, but also completely willing to let me have privacy if I wanted. The big kitchen at their place is available and comfortable to hang out in as well, and they encouraged me to eat or drink anything in it. The description of their place and neighborhood is clear and honest, so just give that a good read and understand that you're not going to be in Beverly Hills. You're going to be in a convenient, authentic section of LA where you'll run into a few characters and, if you're like me, have a great time without having to spend a ton of $$$. Will definitely be back!
