A great place and a great host! We loved our whole three months there. Zahra and Kaveh are wonderful hosts! They are so so warm and friendly, happy to provide us anything we needed, sometimes even delicious homemade food. The garden is beautiful, and one of the many times we were lounging out there Zahra brought us some an extra blanket and pillows. Truly a fantastic host, always helpful and never intrusive.
The location was perfect for a daily commute to UCLA, with the blue bus line only a block away. Great restaurants and a whole foods are within walking distance. We had a car (which Zahra gave us a street parking permit for, and spots were always available), but this would be a fine neighborhood to be carless in.
