Mary's place was great and she was an awesome host! We happened to be there one of the hottest weeks of the year, so no AC was a little tough at the beginning, but Mary had bought a few fans for us to help make the heat bearable. It did get pretty loud on weekends, being beside Hollywood Blvd and all, but that wasn't a huge problem and we were still able to get lots of sleep. It was a great central location and is very close to Metro - we were able to easily get everywhere by bus or train; Santa Monica, Venice, Universal City, Downtown LA, and Beverly Hills. Mary was a great host! She provided us with lots of clean towels and bathroom stuff, a fridge with lots of water, she was always available to help out, answer any questions or recommend good spots to visit and she even kept in touch with us all week to make sure we were getting everything we needed and felt at home. I'd gladly recommend her to anyone and I'd love to visit again!
