Lara's place is in a great area, Brentwood is very safe and close to a Ralph's where you can pick up supplies. Lara's place is beautiful and set up to feel very homely. The Tv is set up with everything you would want if you want a night at home, wifi worked great and the bed is comfortable. The check in process was easy and Lara even let us check in early. The only problem we had was that the owner obviously has a dog which meant the house, bed and couch all smelt which wasn't ideal.
