Helen was very sweet and made an Indian hamburger curry dinner my first night. She was also very knowledgeable about Los Angeles and the surrounding areas and was happy to tell me about insider info, which was great--this really improved my experience. I liked the laid-back feel in the house and the views were gorgeous! It was also very hot during a couple of days of my stay, so the breeze that comes up the hill was helpful. During my stay there were also 3 flatmates who were very pleasant. Everyone was very clean and neat, but also laid-back so there wasn't stress with everyone in the house. I definitely enjoyed my stay and would go back!
