Carmen made me feel very welcome in her beautiful, clean and spacious apartment!
My bedroom was quite roomy, light, and with a nice soft comfortable queen size bed. The bathroom was huge with a fantastic shower, much appreciated at the end of a hard work day. Breakfast was provided every morning along with plenty of coffee (a must-have for me), which I enjoyed drinking out on the balcony. Since I was staying with Carmen for a week, she made room in the fridge for my groceries, which was quite nice. The area itself is quiet, residential, and safe, and very close to everything (Sepulveda, Westwood and Santa Monica Boulevards). There is a vast quantity of shops and restaurants within walking distance .
Carmen is a wonderful welcoming host and I would recommend staying with her if you're in the LA area.
