Gilda's place was great. I was mostly there to visit family and hardly was staying in the house, but I was well rested every morning and the host was very welcoming, while giving me plenty of privacy and space. Will recommend this to anyone traveling to Los Angeles and would love to stay there again. The place is a little up in the hills, so it is best suited for those driving, however, I managed to get around without a car. Lots of cute coffee places on Ventura Blvd.
