Natalie is my most favorite host that I've ever come across on my travels using AirBnB! The house and room suited me perfectly. It had everything I needed as far as amenities and location, and was much bigger than I had expected. What I wasn't expecting was to walk away with a few new friends. My days on this trip were a bit draining, but having a mellow spot to come back to to just chill proved to be invaluable. I was given plenty of space to do my own thing, but it was oh so nice to have someone to chit chat with at the end of my day, and her dogs Blue and Bella were super sweet and chill. They were gentle and playful with my little shih tzu, even though they were much bigger, and they all seemed to enjoy sleeping near each other. I travel to LA often, and even if I don't plan on staying with Natalie (which I'm sure I will again!), I definitely will want to make a point of it to stop by and see my new buddies!
