I had a great stay in Maria’s home! The place is tiny, but cozy. The kitchen is well stocked and easy to use, though I didn’t do much cooking, but I utilized the toaster oven, stove, microwave, etc regularly. There is a lot of natural light in the room which is very nice, and there is a lot of space to store things between the dresser and the closet. The room was clean and I could tell that the carpet was new!
Maria was an extremely sweet host. She was out of the house a lot, from early in the morning until night, but when she was home she was very attentive. Every once in a while she would bring me a fresh juice or smoothie that she made... so, so nice!
As for the location, this apartment was on a residential street right across from a high school. As a solo female I felt very safe in the neighborhood. There is a Ralph’s grocery store within about 4 blocks, as well as a starbucks. Lots of amazing Armenian restaurants in this neighborhood that I enjoyed takeout from.
This is a great walking neighborhood. Nice parks and streets to wander around. I am new to LA and I had never been familiar with Glendale before, but it’s really a delightful neighborhood!
