Ben and Maura provide a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in the classic B&B tradition. You can socialize with other guests you might encounter in the main rooms or have quiet time in your room. Great patio on the front of the house overlooks the city and the cute neighborhood just below. Breakfast is relaxed and tasty, with GOOD coffee and interesting conversation. I felt very welcome and also very private. I hope to stay again on my next trip to LA.
