What can I say about being a guest over at the IHOB (aka Internation House of Bek)? Nothing short of amazing. Rebekah is a fantastic host and helped me feel right at home as soon as I arrived. I was skeptical about airbnb after a sudden cancellation, but she was able to accommodate me mere days before I arrived.

I had a lovely time hanging out and getting to meet fellow guests and Bek's daughter Tia and friend Vignette, who both live in the house and were also lovely to talk to and get to know. By the time I had to leave, Tia had already shown me a bunch of magic tricks and Vin had told me stories about her music career. Everyone there was amazingly homely.

As for the house itself, it's very homely and feels wonderful, especially in the summer time that just hit LA the week I stayed there. The neighborhood looks rough from the outset, but I had zero trouble getting around. The house location is fantastic for those looking to move around LA, it's a short bus ride downtown and a relatively short ride to the Expo line, which gets you to anywhere else you might need to connect to.

I will be sure to stay with Bek and co. again next time I'm in town. No questions asked. Lovely time, lovely folks, couldn't ask for more!

Cheers!
