Kathy is a great host and her home is located in an excellent area. As other guests have said, you can walk to most anything you may be looking for. There is also plenty of street parking for those that have a vehicle. Kathy was very helpful in giving suggestions when I needed them and also respected my need for privacy on the day I needed to sleep in! She also cooks excellent lunch! I stayed in the larger room with its own bathroom and private entrance. For privacy I recommend that space as it's at the back of the house and in its own private corner of the home. I come to LA on business all the time and hope to stay at Kathy's again!
