Amy is Alaya's mom. Amy is super friendly and nice. It was actually raining the day I arrived from the Metrolink. Amy offered to pick me up and give me a ride back to their apartment. Because it's so close in location to the Metrolink I just walked and enjoyed the rain.
Once I arrived, Amy had a big pot of homemade vegetable soup. I hungrily ate 2 bowls of it and enjoyed talking with Amy about many topics.
Amy and her mom both live in the apartment. That was fine. We all shared one bathroom which was fine. My room was neat and clean. There is ambient light from neighboring buildings so I was glad I had my eye mask to make things dark for sleeping at night. It was quiet sleeping with no noises like ambulances or street life.
I was within minutes to the local Starbucks, Subway and grocery store for anything I needed. I had no need for a car.
For a Solo Traveler looking to get around Los Angeles it's a great value a great location and very nice hosts.
