Mary is the nicest host I've ever seen. She did her best to make sure we enjoyed out stay at her apartment. She responded quickly to all of the messages I sent her, helping me to figure out how to get to her place e.t.c. As for apartment it's clean, the beds are comfortable. The location is just perfect. It's a 3-minute walk from subway station and close to Grauman's Chinese Theatre (this is the spot where all the sightseeing tours start, which was convenient to us since we were not driving). However, do consider the noise (which is mentioned in the description of the apartment).
