Nina was a wonderful host! When we arrived we chatted for awhile and met some of her family. Then she took us upstairs to a wonderful, big room with its own bathroom and a small balcony . She had all sorts of goodies and drinks in the room for us and explained a few things. The room had more than we expected and we really enjoyed our stay there. The bed is comfortable and we slept well. We spent 2 different nights in her place, the first the night before our flight out to Hawaii and the 2nd when we came back 2 weeks later. We really enjoyed staying there. Since it was near the 4th of July, there were some people shooting off fireworks the first night but that didn't bother us. The second night was pretty quiet since we had a late arrival. She lives off a narrow street but has a great parking spot behind her house for her guests. The description of the room was accurate. We highly recommend Nina's place if you need a place to stay before you fly out of LAX. She is only about 8-10 min. away from the airport! We enjoyed our visit with her and her family.
