This place was great. We wanted to stay within driving distance to downtown LA but away from the havoc. Nonie’s place was perfect. It is inside her house but it’s basically a separate apartment complete with full kitchen and a private entrance. The kitchen isn’t very well stocked with essentials (e.g. no olive oil or spices other than salt and pepper) but anything you need she welcomes you to grab it from the main kitchen downstairs. Nonie was also a great hostess. The hot tub broke our second night there but she had it fixed the very next day. She also made lunch for us one of the days we stayed. Great place, great hostess. Highly recommend!
