From the first contact through the app Bek was more than helpful she answered all questions faster than expected and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable even tho I am a very shy, keep to myself, type of person. You definitely will learn something from staying at International House of Bek, lots of literature about self discovery and Bek herself has tons of insight. The neighborhood was awesome, living in LA for 4 years previously, I never knew much about the Washington/Crenshaw neighborhood, I love this neighborhood from walking around it everyday, including late at night(11pm-1am) I always felt safe and there's lots of families around playing with children in the neighborhood, definitely an inviting community with tons of unique culture and architecture.
I most definitely WILL be booking with Bek again, since I was alone this time, the Zen Den was perfect, there's so much space on the property(patios, side rooms, etc) I look forward to staying in the two bedroom with my friends next visit to the city of angels!
