Debbie is a super-nice host - interesting to talk with, very pleasant, and super considerate. The room we stayed in was immaculate, and her entire apartment is spacious and beautifully appointed. We had our own bathroom, which was stocked with everything we could possibly need. Debbie went out of our way to insure that our arrival was smooth, even saving us a parking space on the street. (Parking is pretty tough right around her building, but we had no problem finding a space a couple minutes walk away.) It's an easy drive to UCLA, and it's an easy walk to commercial areas nearby. Her cute little dog will bark at you at first (dogs will be dogs), but it got used to us pretty quickly, and if you play tug-of-war with it using a stuffed toy, the dog will be your friend for life.
