I didn't get a chance to actually meet Ann, but the room was exactly as listed, with the house exceeding expectations.

There's a pretty friendly dog that will 'hound' you, but Ann suggested putting him in her room while you're home (if she's not). The dog did give off a lot of hair, so if you're allergic, be aware!

House was clean, garden was a welcome oasis, and the weather was great so I sat out there in the morning before heading out for the day.

Ann was very attentive and checked in a few times during my stay... just to make certain everything was okay, which was nice.

There was another guest there as well in another room, but we only crossed paths a few times with pleasant hello's, so there wasn't much interaction at all.

Overall, great place to stay, convenient to shops, and walking distance to restaurants (30 minute walk) and transportation. Park is also nearby.

Would suggest a car (in LA it's almost mandatory), street parking was easy, though after 9am and on some other days you need to be careful!

Thanks Ann! Hope to finally meet you on another trip out West!

Cheers
